Hi,

I am trying to estimate my caloric intake for one day.
It appears that its very low or my calculation is incorrect.
Would you tell me if you disagree with my estimations ?

Breakfast : 2 eggs , 2 bkfast sausage fried in Mazola oil
tea with no sugar 400
10 AM : one banana 50
Lunch : yogurt and grape nuts small cup 300
3:00 PM : spinach one cup , olive oil ,
cheese one slice 300
6:00 PM : one apple 50
-----------------------
total 1100 calories

I have plenty of energy and exercise about an hour a day
Weight lifting and bike trainer.

any help is appreciated.

thanks
Michael

A banana is usually closer to 80 calories, I think.

Other than that - how much oil are we talking about? Remember, just ONE
level tablespoon as 100 calories in it. And 1 tablespoon is not a lot of oil
if you are frying.

hi ,

even if I add 300 more Calorie to total , its still below what I should
take per day.
I am 53 , 5'10" and about 195 lbs , I have lost about 40 lbs in the
past 3 months.
what is wrong with this picture ? why is it so easy ?

thanks
Michael

Yes, it's very low and your calculations are close enough to show that
it's low. I think you need to take a look at the nutrients in those
calories though. They're not balanced throughout the day and certainly
very low in protein for someone who is weight lifting.

At least you can get a more correct calculation.
