 day 3 check in | |
| Well yesterday was a bit better. Managed to up my calories to 1661 which is at least getting close to my BMR(1775) but still a long way from my AMR(2475) but I am working on it.
What is your opinion about the number I should shoot for. I know Atkins says don't count calories but I believe that they do have something to do with it. I am eating too low and could put my body into starvation mode if I continued and then I would have the nerve to think the plan isn't working. Are you of the opinion that a person should eat at or near their BMR or should they be shooting for a number between their BMR and their AMR? Or do you think it is okay to be several hundred below your BMR.
The cool thing was that when I entered it all on fitday that my ratios were 65% fat, 5% carb, 30% Protein. I will probably never hit it that perfect again. The bummer thing was that I used all my carbs up so would have been hard to add more fat to this to bring my calories up.
I still have a headache. Hope it goes soon. How much longer can it last?
