I’ve been getting some messages lately that are judging my daily intakes. First I want to say I’m really glad that I have people who are concerned for me on here.. that makes me really happy. However, you guys are worrying for no reason. I have said countless times on here.. and I even felt the need to add something in my info section.. that my intakes are NOT 100% accurate. I do NOT measure out everything I eat and count every single calorie that goes into my mouth. So when I enter a cup of whatever into myfitnesspal.. it may be a little over or a little under.
I also don’t enter little things like if I had two bites of something.. or if I put some kind of condiment on my sandwich. I feel like that gets a little bit tedious. I’m using myfitnesspal to give me an estimate of how much I’m eating each day. It’s not scientific.. there really is no way I can know that the “chicken parm” on myfitnesspal is the same amount of calories in the “chicken parm” I made at home. They are just guesstimates.
Lastly, I don’t always eat back my burned calories from exercise. I was doing that for months and I was GAINING weight. This was because I was overestimating the calories I was burning. Again.. myfitnesspal has no way of knowing that I burned that exact amount of calories, so I end up overeating if I eat back what I “burned”.
It makes me feel bad when I get judged so harshly on these numbers that I post. I post them to give you guys an idea of what I’m eating.. but I’ll gladly stop posting the numbers if that’s throwing people off. I understand that eating under 1,200 calories every day is unhealthy… but occasionally I’ll have a lower than normal intake. I could see this being a problem if it was all the time.. but it’s not. I’m not going to force myself to eat at the end of the night just because I have leftover calories.. when I probably underestimated what I ate during the day anyway.
I hope you guys understand where I’m coming from here. Let me know if you think I should stop posting the numbers.. I really don’t want to cause any issues over this. I’m not claiming to be the healthiest person in the world.. so I hope that you guys aren’t holding me to that standard. It’s a lot of pressure lol and I’m learning on here just like everyone else.
