Re: Your Olympic athlete body match

DA

What sticks out to me as not quite right is that you're counting the calories in things like mustard and lettuce and salad dressing, and that you describe it as "breaking" when you eat something that isn't diet-friendly.

But mustard and lettuce have calories. Why wouldn't I include them?

Anytime the word "break" was used, it basically indicated a point where I got so hungry that I gave up on waiting until I supposed to eat and went to the vending machine.

I had planned not to eat that Kit Kat bar and instead make a little pasta when I got home but I got hungry, so I broke and ate. It probably would have been smarter to make the pasta and pack it in some tupperware this morning but I was kind of rushed.

Because that way madness lies. It's not good for you, mentally, to let yourself calculate the calories in every squirt of ketchup you put on your burger.

...But why not? I'm just waiting for the burger to cook anyway. Drop the bun on the scale, and then just weigh out the condiments on top.

It's not like I spend a huge portion of my day counting calories. I just enter a number into a spreadsheet. Probably spend 2 minutes, maximum, per day counting.

My problem isn't the counting. It's that I'm still hungry even though I'm eating enough.

Mustard and lettuce have negligible calories. At the end of the day you might as well just pretend they have zero calories and eat as much as you like of either, because there is no way in hell you are going to gain weight on a diet of lettuce.

The other anons are right. You are getting a little bit obsessive with your eating. Tone it down and work on moving your body a little more to fit your usual calorie intake.

Incorporate a light 15 minute into your evening routine, for example.

Well I walk to and from work every day. It's about 0.75 miles each way (so 1.5 miles in total).

So that's about 30 minutes of walking a day.

If I get out early enough, sometimes I'll go walking a bit more but often it's already dark and my area isn't the safest.

15 minutes of walking twice per day isn't quite meeting the recommended daily amount of exercise. Walking is nice for burning calories, but it's not great for cardiovascular training, which is part of what you need to see changes in your metabolism and gain real health benefits.

If you can manage it, maybe try jogging back home instead of walking, and extend the amount of time you jog to around 15 minutes. That'll get your heart rate up and give your metabolism a kick, which should in turn supress those post-work snack cravings.

At any rate, if you can manage to get some cardio training into your routine, you should start seeing the results you're looking for.

And if I had one more piece of advice I'd say cut back on the sugar and eat more protein. Almonds, hummus/carrot sticks, peanut butter, unsweetened yogurt and berries... that sort of thing. It'll help you feel fuller for longer if you're getting a decent amount of protein in your diet.
