JUNE 2015: COUNT EVERY CALORIE

by:Pox

2015/06/01

CHALLENGE IS OVER AND COMPLETE! RESULTS HERE:

Oh no, not THIS shit again. More calorie counting? YOU ALWAYS DO THIS.

Yes. Yes I do.

...It's been a while. A long while. In fact I don't think I've ever done this for a whole month ever since I started living a proper healthy life devoid of me eating cheese and potatoe chips for a week straight to see what would happen.

In the time I've been gone, I amassed a nice cushion of fat to work on. I've already somewhat started earlier this year, taking a few progress pictures, and hopefully... after this month is up....

I have probably said this often but YOU SHOULD DO THIS AT LEAST FOR ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE. Try for a week at least. I know literally no one who has ever counted their calories for any period of time, people just live by this ethos of doing what "feels right" to them. Thin healthy people just eat whatever they like and it works for them and people who try to lose weight have endless complaints about their metabolism and their diets when they have no idea how much they actually eat.

So let's get this rolling again!

THE PLAN:

- Record the total calories eaten every day.
- Try for that to be less than 2000 unless I'm doing a lot of bike that day
- Weigh myself a bunch
- Make a graph. THERE ALWAYS MUST BE GRAPHS

THE TOOLS:

1. My Fitbit Scale

This futuristic piece of space age technology is a Wi-Fi connected scale that automatically uploads my weight and estimated body fat% to an online social media-like account that you can share with friends! So in short, it's pretty useless, but it makes graphs for me SO I LIKE IT.

2. A Cheap Food Scale

You can't count calories without a food scale. Volume of food is not an accurate enough measurement for many solids. What the hell is a cup of chopped onions? You can probably fit double the quantity if you just cut them small enough and mash them into your measuring cup.
