Matt and I are going to go to Sushi for dinner tonight in celebration of his birthday (Sunday). If anyone is interested in joining us for a birthday dinner, please call either Matt or myself so we can make some plans to eat at a suitable location. Otherwise we will be eating at G-In the sushi place by our house ( Read more... )

Hi there - I read your comment about caloric intake etc.. would you be willing to teach that to me?

How much for instance do we burn just existing. I am doing the 1400-1600 caloric intake a day and I am 360 pounds. My scales is slowly going down. I will say I am not exercising tons as it's hard being this large. But I am doing some.

I'd love to pick your brain about all this.

There is not much to teach really (Google RMR or Caloric needs for more info). I think I posted a link on the original comment, although I'm not exactly sure to which one you’re referring to… If I didn't, the one I use is here: http://www.nutritiondata.com/tools/calories-burned basically there is some math behind how many calories your body needs just to exist in exactly the way it is neither gaining nor loosing (with some fudge factor I'm sure as no mathematical model can be 100%). So that is considered your RMR and for healthy weight loss it is generally accepted that you want to loose between 1 and 2 lbs a week. This works out to mean that you need to create a caloric deficit between 3600 and 7200 calories each week (1 lb = 3600 cal). So the way that works is by eating less and exercising you create that deficit...and loose weight ( ... )
