Calories are numbers on the Devil’s abacus

Okay, my time is REALLY
short today: not only do I have to finish my UML, Sequence Diagram for my project, but it’s
also probably the longest one, as I flying to Adelaide in 8 hours from now..Since its been ages I have not seen Adrian, Balraj and co..haha, there will be heaps of things to catch up on.Looks like we plan to stay up all night or something man..EEEeeeeEeeee…cant wait.i miss the gun we used to have back in msia. Anyway, I’ll update pictures from my holiday ok :)

HOWEVER -

In
my few minutes before crashing out to bed last night at 1:30 AM, upon of my assignment, I decided to use my ‘free
time’ and begin research on, once again, calories.

Here’s what I found:

http://www.caloriecontrol.org/calcalcs.html

The web site itself is for Calorie Control,
and the articles, as I glanced them, looked quite informative and
interesting (another thing to add to the list when I finish my project). However, after entering my data, I found that I should consume 2450 calories a day to maintain.
Okay, I’ve done that, even though Calorie King suggested 2300. I
subtracted my 500 calories of exercise per day, along with removing my
300 calories a day as their weight loss formula figures, and, I am
still at around 1800. So, moral of the story: I am still not eating
enough. CK is not figuring in people like me, as few and far between as
we may be, who are more active than the Average Bear.

This
formula is making more sense the longer it takes to sink it. The few
days I "allowed" myself to get to 1800 - 1900 calories a day, I
suddendly felt my waist get flatter, my pants get more baggy and my
rings falling off, losing the usual sodium bloat that has a hold on
them (could also be statin-related). Go back to 1700 and - WHAMO
- tight rings and belly bloat again (body holding onto everything
because it’s feeling like it’s in starvation mode, even at 1700?).

Much
to ponder. If anyone does this, please let me know your results. I have
allowed myself to become the Human Guinea Pig once again and I think I
am going to try this out for the next two weeks…If i manage it that is…<<giggles>>
