Yeah.. I am confused on WW i have never tried it so I don't understand the points system..you will have to explain it to me sometime! Under 1000 calories seems insane to me.. i don't know how you do it. There is a formula you can look up called BMR.. it will calculate online how many daily calories your body needs just to survive given that you didn't exercise at all.. it takes into account your age, height and weight.
Mine is 1560 so if i laid in bed all day and did nothing i could eat 1560calories and not gain anything.. so i eat that or a little more and exercise to create a deficit.. it seems to be working for me, i've been losing 2 lbs a week but everyone is different!
Zumba is awesome i love it! I want the video game for Wii
Thank you I will check this out to day!
When I went to WW's they had two plans, core plan and the flex plan. On the core plan you follow a list of foods in the book they give you. On occasional you can also eat foods outside of the list in a controlled amount. This plan is suppose to help you lose weight without tracking points or calories. I tried this plan once and lost 3 pounds. Then I went to counting points to keep the weight off. This allowed me to have a little something I really wanted to eat at times. The core plan foods has a check mark beside them in the list.
With the flex plan you count points. You can Choose any food on the list that is in the book. Put you control how much you eat and keep track of it. All food groups are on the list with the amount of points you can have for that food. I can eat these foods and maintain my weight, but I have to exercise to lose weight.
For my weight I can have 22 points
Breakfast:
2 eggs (4 points), 2 35cal. bread (1 Point), 2 slices of primrose bacon (2 points) ........7 points "that is a good breakfast"
Lunch:
bologna/cheese sandwich (piled high with veggies for..... 5 points
Supper
6-inch sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub (piled high with veggies) from Sub-Way.........7 points
19 points.....3 points left I could have a cup of berries 1Point, and a banana 2 Points.
I know the points, but I don't know what my calorie intake for these foods would be.
When you count calories how do you know the amount of calories for that particular food. What would be the amount for those foods if you were to eat this plan for today. Your daily point target would be the same as mine. 150 to 174 pounds are allowed 22 points.
Right now I am going a little under my points to lose weight, because my weight is so close to 150 lbs. A person who weighs 150 or less are allowed only 20 points to lose weight. But I can have all the free foods that are listed that I want (in controlled amounts (portion sizes).
