I've eaten only about 800 calories today, ask me a question

There is next to NO nutritional value in your 800 wasted calories!! Shame on you!

you need...
2 servings of protien
2 servings of fruit
1 serving of starch
4 servings of vegetables

and ALWAYS eat over 1200 calories if you want to keep your muscle mass.

800 calories is kind of low.
make it 2000 calories, all the food groups,
(not too much carbs) (no saturated fat) and
take a vitamin pill every day.

this^

2 Long Island Iced Teas, I'm guessing I'm at 800 calories just with that.

2000 calories is way too much for me. I gain weight if I eat that much. About 1400-1600 is ideal for me.

What kind of cookies did you eat?

are you sure this was only 800 calories? The apple juice along would be 600. unless you are eating small animal cookies, they could be that much too.

yes, muscle mass: if you don't eat enough, the body
begins to metabolize it's own protein -- that
means it starts eating it's own muscle tissue,
and one of the first muscles it goes for is
the heart muscle... not good.

I can never eat enough. I have to worry about NOT eating enough and missing meals.

I'll never understand fat people. They must spend so much goddamn time devoted to eating.

If you don't consume 60-90 grams of protein a day, routine cell replacement for vital organs MUST continue and your body WILL cannibalize the protein from your skeletal muscles to keep them healthy.

About 1.5 grams of protein for every kilo of LEAN body weight every day or else.

LOL

Iv eatn 10,000 calories today. ask me a question op.

Many emotionally eat which is sad. And some have thyroid problems and hormonal problems which can make you feel awful and then lead to emotional eating.

At least you don't have that problem. Just carry snacks with you and take a multivitamin/mineral supp.

hungry yet ?

here is a list of protein foods and how many grams they have

[link to lowcarbdiets.about.com]

apple juice and cookies.

sugar diuretic juice and lollies.

I started a diet last Monday, so far so good

Thanks.

Just eat 2 cans of tuna a day = 80 grams. Yuck? Eat to live not live to eat. Attitude check please.

well, not tuna. it is loaded with mercury. what about chicken? one small chicken breast is 30 grams of protein.

I struggle to eat over 1000 calories a day. Eating wastes time.

Cool. I've been eating tuna right out of the can for 40 years. Get physicals every year with full lab workups and they DO check for metals levels because of my occupation and I've always been trace to zero everything bad.

Not convinced the mercury scare is real because I should have 30 pounds of mercury in me and I've got zero.

Your body is efficient at riding itself of toxins. Some people aren't so lucky. I take it you don't have any silver fillings?

The very expensive tuna is loaded with mercury. The cheaper stuff is a bit safer if not eaten on a regular basis.

I have a relative who got mercury poisoning from eating 3 cans of albacore tuna a week for almost a year. He had to get chelation when it was figured out he wasn't having strokes but problems associated with being poisoned.

After a few years he is doing much better but will not touch tuna again. The big fish are really contaminated. The smaller fish less so.

He had to have a hair analysis to figure this out because neurologists were stumped. In fact, the whole family went in to get their hair analyzed and his mercury was off the charts and his family was fine because they rarely ate it.

So just be careful is all I am saying and if you eat the cheap tuna a few times a month then it should be no big deal.

I only each solid white tuna. Thanks for the warning. Shall be heeded. I should vary the diet with chicken, turkey and vegetable protein sources more anyways. Need all the amino acids that are at different ratios.

here is a chart to show what is a serving. some people can be confused to how much they should really eat. and since food prices are skyrocketing this will save you money by not overeating.

the solid white tuna is the one loaded with mercury. it would be a good thing to vary your diet.
