I almost didn’t eat in January…
// February 7th, 2008 // Random Stuff
Well, I did, though the sums would suggest not.
As I said previously, I lost 21lbs of weight in January - now presuming this is all fat, and that I haven’t dropped a stone in muscle (hard to imagine that with my weedy arms) - and taking the words over at “weightlossresources.co.uk” as gospel…
“To shift 1lb of body fat, you need to ‘lose’ 3500 calories.”
That would mean that in January I didn’t eat 21 x 3500 calories. This is 73,500 calories that I abstained from or worked off at the gym. The recommended daily intake for a man is 2500 calories a day, for 31 days. This is 77,500 calories… Minus one from the other and in January this means I consumed a grand total of 4,000 calories. This is one and a half days food.
Greg pointed this out to me this morning, and I’m not sure it’s a good thing.
