Calorie Calculated Meals For Biggest Loser Challenge

***This thread is to familiarize yourself with the concept of calculating calories.

Unless one starts practicing calorie counts so it becomes second nature one will ALWAYS eat way over one’s requirements.

What I do is decide in advance for example that today I’m in the mood for a certain food.

I mentally calculate that proportion and how many calories would that food have and then tailor the meals for the rest of the day accordingly so as to fit it within my caloric requirements. Once you get used to figuring out proportions and calories it becomes easier to indulge while still sticking to your diet .

So the purpose of this thread is to allow you to start practicing calorie counts.

Post your regular meals and their calorie counts .

Re: Calorie Calculated Meals For Biggest Loser Challenge

UZ…its ok..the point is learning and becoming aware of how much your eating without realizing it …that’s the first step :k:

thansk Sheyni :hugz: Actually I worked some interval training for half an hour and tried to burn that fat.

Today in Sehri I ate : 1/2 cup kellogs corn flakes,1/2 cup Kashi lean, 1/3 cup all-bran in 1 cup 1% milk

In aftari: 4 pakoras(140 calories), 2 dahi bhallay around 100 calories, 1/2 cup chick peas, 1/2 fruit chaat.Together both I think 120-150 calories

Re: Calorie Calculated Meals For Biggest Loser Challenge

A samosa is about 200-300 calories alone !

Re: Calorie Calculated Meals For Biggest Loser Challenge

sheyn,

in the instructions you said "no whites", does that mean to cut down all whites altogether, or can i keep adding sugar (half tsp) to my chai? or no whites at all? Im cool with either one..

Also, really dumb question, how can i calculate how many cals im taking when i have half tsp sugar in chai?

Re: Calorie Calculated Meals For Biggest Loser Challenge

***Sadzzz…U can start by cutting down each white slowly…

Substitute sweetner for sugar if U can .

I’ve opened a Desi Calorie Count thread , I think You can refer to that for calories in sugar and any other foods …:k:***

Re: Calorie Calculated Meals For Biggest Loser Challenge

^ thanks sheyn, dont eat much whites to begin with... but yeah the sugar in the tea is a bit of a killer.
