WCD1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share didn't read the whole thread, but here are some calorie basics: Calorific value of common food types 1) Calories (in normal spoken language) actually refer to Kilo Calories (kCal), so that's the unit here. A kCal is NOT a kJ (kCal = 4.18 x kJ)2) Average red meat portion: 3 kCal per gram 3) Average White meat portion: 2kCal per gram4) Pastries, crossaints & chocolates: Between 3 and 5 kCal per gram5) Fat / Oil: 9 kCal per gram6) Dry starch (rice / pasta): can't remember to the pin, but think it's about 2 kCal / gram The hard science about "fat" weight loss Every kg of fat contains 9000 kCal. Most of us (reasonably active males) burn 2500 - 3500 kCal per day. So even if your body would only use fat as fuel source and you don't eat anything (which is never the case), it would take 3 + days to burn a kg of fat. If you lose weight faster, it's water, muscle or something else. Its very hard to maintain much more than a 500 kCal deficit (eat 500 kCal less than you burn) on a daily basis, so it's typically about 2 weeks of work to lose a kg of fat... Not saying this to discourage anybody, just to keep realistic targets in mind!!! Good luck with the challenge Just a small addition: 1g alcohol = 7 Cal So something like whisky, with little added carbs (unlike beer) at about 40% proof, will be 280 Cal per 100g, or 70 Cal per 25ml tot Also, 1g pure carb, like sugar = 4 Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashed Posted January 10, 2011 Share OK - this is my experiment for now: blindly going by the numbers to see what happens. No wonder this is hard - the last few kgs. Very quickish gym this morning - 200 odd kcal, and a 1 hour ride tonight - 850 or so kcal. The daily chomp calc updated is hovering around the 400 kcal deficit. And I'm getting the late night nibblies. Jeez, if I didn't ride I'd starve in order to try and maintain the 500 kcal negative balance..................!

flymango Posted January 10, 2011 Share Any indication of the % split between guys and girls taking part in the challenge? I was only ever taught not to ask a lady's age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even hungry, I just forced a tin of tuna down to get some protein, I won't do that again in a hurry, it was gross. Is there anything you can add to tuna to make it taste decent? Apart from salad dressing for obvious reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
