So mathematically, yes, a calorie is a calorie. But in practice those who nurish their bodies are much more successful at being able to maintain a calorie deficit for the long haul.Christine Jeskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980803092490489163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-54850367217942901322009-12-08T08:55:40.391-10:002009-12-08T08:55:40.391-10:00GREAT Post...GREAT Post...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254256611408911979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-79708927861468735702009-12-08T07:56:37.905-10:002009-12-08T07:56:37.905-10:00@Lors - Girl, if you're eating back your exerc...@Lors - Girl, if you're eating back your exercise calories, then your most likely consuming 1500 - 1900 so that's good! Some people don't understand the concept that 1200 NET calories is something that's acceptable to me. If you're talking NET cals, then yeah, I eat about 1200 too.<br /><br />@Mandie - Thanks!<br /><br />@Kyle - Very well said too.<br /><br />@Boomer - Thanks for not writing me off before you finished reading! Yes, when you're working out as 'Insane' as you are, getting good fuel is always important.

Then you made it very clear about consuming quality calories for good health. I would like to further add that it is wise to select the sort of calories that will provide good fuel for our workouts.Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-30740045282978746872009-12-08T06:54:34.758-10:002009-12-08T06:54:34.758-10:00Masterfully said and likely better than a nutritio...Masterfully said and likely better than a nutritionist or dietitian. I tell people that I'm over-educated and under-practiced in the ways of fitness.<br /><br />The Bodybugg (or any other calorie in/out enforced philosophy) really doesn't care about the make up of the calories either. Clearly, you get a lot more bulk to eat when the calories are healthy than when they are laded with fat and refined sugars. The great thing about calories in/out, though is that you CAN eat whatever you want, but it is truly better to eat healthful calories.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235073044536622230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-45320740915851551332009-12-08T06:35:27.346-10:002009-12-08T06:35:27.346-10:00Very well said girlie ;)Very well said girlie ;)Mandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249337817848575874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413074573301364518.post-51146272183448828482009-12-08T06:30:18.973-10:002009-12-08T06:30:18.973-10:00I am actually on a 1200 calorie plan on MFP. This ...I am actually on a 1200 calorie plan on MFP. This takes into account the 500 calories deficit required to lose 1 lb per week. At times this can be quite limiting but I've noticed that I've been losing because I was stuck in a plateau for the longest time (even with a personal trainer). <br /><br />But, I do try to balance my nutrients as best as I can. I also always will "eat" most of my workout calories and that typically will be an extra 400-500 calories. So, by being able to eat these calories, it forces me to work out more :-)Lorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636401227472068391noreply@blogger.com
