Yeah, so I work out everyday, attempt to walk more to where I need to go, and eat under 900 calories a day--and for what? Nothing.
I binged yesterday night on soda, chips, cheetos, at a lightning fast speed.
As if that wasn't a "Hey, maybe I should just eat more calories, even with the good stuff..." my friend Hayley stopped using the Ipod app Lose It. I was like, "WHY???!!!!" Now I know.
Just because the application asks you a few basic questions about what height, weight, and gender you are, doesn't necessarily mean it is tailored to fit YOU. There are plenty of girls out there in the same weight range, with the same height, and so on. That doesn't mean that your activities and eating habits and attitudes are the same.
So, I have come to learn that eating when you are hungry is okay. Eating whatever comes your way is not. It's okay to go above 1000 calories. ESPECIALLY when you work out like a beastlord--or beastladybeast. It's wonderful to eat many vegetables that are fresh and not out of the can (due to sodium levels). Heck, eat the meatzuhs. You know you want to....
Anyway, learning from Undressed Skeleton, I am going to attempt to not beat myself up over this splurging. Move on, and keep working. Just eat more, and eat right.
Despite my upset with Lose It, it is still a great application to use when monitoring the general calories each workout you do burns. It can also help you estimate how many calories you ingest according to measuring of food intake and what kinds. It's easy. Simple. But, it can fool you and make you starve yourself when you shouldn't have to.
Here's some linkage to the app: Itunes - LoseIt!
Android - LoseIt!
