Based on my inability to eat approximately the same amount of calories per day, I have re-checked the number of calories I should be eating to lose weight. I wasn’t as far off today as I’d thought, though I still ate too much.

My ideal caloric intake is as follows:

  • 1,445 Calories/day to lose 1 pound/week
  • 1,200 Calories/day to lose 1.5 pounds/week

So now I have two goals for the rest of the week…

  1. eat about 1300 calories per day
  2. eat four or more smaller meals per day

And with Thanksgiving around the corner, that should be a snap! (sarcasm)I can do it, I just have to try harder.

If you’d like to find out how many calories you can eat and still lose weight, there’s a great calculator at here that will figure it out for you. I found it very helpful (then again, I hate math)
