Days of Bushie's Life (Update Thread v4)

[Paul Kemp]

I try to stay under 1800 calories a day. There was a time where I was trying to stay under 1400-1500 but I would go to bed starving.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I've got a bit more calories in me today, around 1,200 currently through breakfast and lunch.  I'm still contemplating what to have for dinner.  As of this morning, I am down to 268 which puts me down 2 1/2 pounds total since Saturday.

I find it hard to get alone without a 1500-2000 calorie 'shot' of food around 5-6pm.  I also have a bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night and eating + re-upping on sleeping pills... no paragon of health, here.

What meal do you eat that is 1500-2000 calories?

yesterday I had two tacos and two slices of meatball pizza.

The idea that people find it difficult not to eat 3000 calories per day is really, really baffling to me. Maybe I'm under-estimating how many calories I do actually consume, but I think I would find it challenging (and expensive!) to eat that much daily. Do they eat ten extra donuts for snacks randomly throughout the day or something?

Yes, it is extremely challenging to eat an amount different than what your brain is telling you to eat. Most people can do it for a short period of time, but after a while will go back to what they are used to. Which is why just about everybody who loses weight unrelated to severe illness or age will gain it back. Until we treat the brain, fighting obesity will not be effective.

I usually find it hard to even have 2000 calories a day. I'm the weirdest fat person you'd ever meet. I don't get hungry often, I don't eat chocolate..hell I don't like sweets, an I dont get junk food.

So why are you fat? Liquor?

They key for men is exercise exercise exercise. Don't consume what you can't burn off. I eat about 5 or 6 good meals a day because I go to the gym. When I took a few weeks off from the gym (as you should do now and then) my hunger faded and I didn't eat as much. If you're a big eater because you're big, but not 'healthy big' then exercise and not just aerobically either.

Yeah... lol

Good news to report.  As of this morning, I have lost 3 pounds since last Saturday.  Its nothing to write home about, but it is an accomplishment.  I'm just keeping my calories under my goal of 2,500 and its working out fine for me.  I'm not losing weight rapidly, which is probably a good thing as it gives my body time to catch up, but I am losing.

[Joe Biden 2020]

As of this morning, I have now lost 5 pounds.  Again, I'm limiting my calories to 2,500 a day.

Given that calorie intake, it should be 1 pound or so (which is alright for 1 week). Don't expect to maintain the pound a day.

Considering weight maintenance for me is in excess of 3,000 calories, 2,500 calories is not much.  I don't expect to maintain the 3/4 - 1 pound a day for a long time.  I know there will be times where I lose less, lose more, hold steady, or even gain just a bit, despite my best efforts to lose the day before.  I just can't let the steady weight days or the small gains to deter me from my ultimate goal, which is to be down to 250 by my 31st birthday 5 months from today.

According to McDonalds' website, a daily diet of a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with a Fruit and Yogurt Parfait for breakfast and a Big Mac with Medium Fries combo for lunch and dinner, with a diet coke to drink for all three meals, adds up to only 2450 calories for the day

So yeah, Bushie, if you're struggling to fall below 3000... I... I don't know what to say.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Ahem... You looked at the wrong menu items.  I always get 2 bacon, egg, & cheese biscuits for breakfast and a Double Quarter w/ cheese.  Since they took away my Diet Dr Pepper, I have to get a Coke.  I havent developed a taste for Diet Coke.

Well, perhaps you should get a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with a Fruit and Yogurt Parfait for breakfast and a Big Mac with Medium Fries combo for lunch and dinner, with a water or Coke Zero to drink for all three meals.

No, no, no. Artificial sweeteners are the last thing Bushie should be ingesting.

[rejectamenta]

I'm with you on this. I'm currently at ~1000 calories for the day, with a target goal of ~3500-4000. That leaves 2500-3000 calories left for dinner and subsequent snacks. It's impossible to hit without binge drinking, but Bushie doesn't even do that!

I had this problem until I just started drinking 16 ounces of milk with everything. Peanut butter is a miracle, too.

[Mr. Morden]

Wait, did I miss something here?  Does Bushie actually eat 3 meals a day at McDonald's?

That is all.

No, I think he goes to Golden Corral and Pizza Hut alternatively. Or to be very healthy, I think frozen burritos at home have been mentioned.

[AndrewTX]

I still don't understand what is so difficult about drinking water. I almost never drink soda. I currently have a 12 pack of diet ginger ale in my fridge. I think I've had 3 in the past month and a half, and it's just usually when I'm not feeling well.

This is VanderBlubb hacking his account, right? I was really feeling sorry for Bushie until I read this.
