I think every one gains about 4-5 pounds at BBG, unless you'r Karan!!! :shock: :evil: :wink: :lol: George
He's alot like those late night TV commercials!!! :lol: Well so far I'm right on track! Maybe even a little ahead of the game. A little math I've learned along the way. 3500 calories = 1 pound. That's a bit of an over simplification but it means basicaly that if you take in 3500 cals more than you burn, you gain that pound, burn 3500 more than consumed = 1 pound lost. As I said that's over sipmlified, and the type of cals still have alot to do with it! I've see websites (can't recall any at this moment :? ) that can help you calculate how many calories you burn so you know how many you can consume.
For some reason I have this urge to go to a mexican restaraunt and gain about 2 pounds! :? Well, maybe not! :wink: :lol: George
Ah...gotta love breakfast. Two half-links of polish sausage the kiddies didn't finish, and a little cup of Dannon vanilla yogurt. Oh yeah, and a cup o' joe. Any wonder why I'm always famished at lunch?
Well, I had a 500 calorie lunch. Steamed broccoli, noodles, and beef and a cream sauce. lol. The cream sauce was all the calories! I had a banana for breakfast, which according to this chart is 107 calories. I found this chart on calories/carb grams/water content for fruits. Obviously they will be off a little bit due to different sizes, but these are average amounts. http://www.weightlossforall.com/calories-fruit.htm Fruit --- Calories per piece --- Carbs (grams) ---Water Content Apple (1 average)--- 44 calories--- 10.5--- 85 % Apricot --- 30 calories --- 6.7 --- 85 % Avocado --- 150 calories --- 2 --- 60 % Banana --- 107 calories --- 26 --- 75 % Blackberries each ---1 calorie --- 0.2 --- 85 % Blackcurrant each ---1.1 calorie --- 0.25 --- 77 % Blueberries (new) 100g--- 49 Cals --- ( 100g ) 15 g--- 81 % Cherry each --- 2.4 calories --- 0.6 --- 83 % Clementine --- 24 cals --- 5 --- 66 % Currants --- 5 calories --- 1.4 --- 16 % Damson --- 28 calories ---7.2 --- 70 % One average date 5g--- 5 cals ---1.2 --- 14 % Dates with inverted sugar 100g ---250 calories--- 63--- 12 % Figs --- 10 calories ----2.4 --- 24 % Gooseberries--- 2.6 calories ---0.65 --- 80 % Grapes 100g Seedless ---50 cals ---15 --- 82 % one average Grape 6g --- 3 calories ---0.9 --- 82 % Grapefruit whole ---100 calories --- 23 --- 65 % Guava --- 24 calories ---4.4 --- 85 % Kiwi --- 34 calories ---8 --- 75 % Lemon --- 20 calories ---3.4 --- 85 % Lychees --- 3 calories ---0.7 --- 80 % Mango --- 40 calories --- 9.5 --- 80 % Melon Honeydew (130g)--- 36 cals --- 9 --- 90 % Melon Canteloupe (130g) ---25 cals --- 6 --- 93 % Nectarines --- 42 calories --- 9 --- 80 % Olives --- 6.8 calories ---trace --- 63 % Orange average ---35 calories ---8.5 --- 73 % Orange large 350g ---100 Cals ---22g --- 75 % Papaya Diced (small handful) ---67 Cals--- (20g) 17g - --- Passion Fruit --- 30 calories ---3 --- 50 % Paw Paw --- 28 calories ---6 --- 70 % Peach --- 35 calories ---7 --- 80 % Pear --- 45 calories ---12 --- 77% Pineapple --- 50 calories ---12 --- 85 % Plum --- 25 calories --- 6 --- 79 % Prunes --- 9 calories ---2.2 --- 37 % Raisins --- 5 calories ---1.4 --- 13 % Raspberries each--- 1.1 calories --- 0.2 --- 87 % Rhubarb --- 8 calories ---0.8 --- 95 % Satsuma one average 112g--- 29 cals ---6.5 --- 88 % Satsumas 100g --- 35 calories ---8.5 --- 88 % Strawberries (1 average)--- 2.7 calories ---0.6 ---- 90 % Sultanas --- 5 calories ---1.4 ---- 16 % Tangerine --- 26 calories --- 6 ---- 60 % Tomatoes (1 average size)--- 9 cals --- 2.2 ---- 93 % Tomatoes Cherry (1 average)--- 2 calories --- 0.5 ---- 90 %
