Would appreciate some feedback plz Maybe im not eating enough cals, what do you guys think?

[Sharla]

I don't count calories myself but i guess i'd generally rely on how I feel to tell me whether or not i need to eat more calories.

One thing i guess i'd avoid is the white bread. I find rye bread the best - easier on the digestive system (less gluten i think - less gluey) but also because white bread is sort of like sugar. Too high GI. It will make you feel like you haven't really eaten when you have I think.

I don't think anyone would mind that you don't box. I used to but since i became gymless over the last few months my training log has been more of a grumpy ass log.

I like the way you set everything out.

Ditto on the white bread. Nothing good about white bread...it`s total shit for you. Start liking whole grain breads and your body will thank you for it.

Looks like you are eating a good variety of healthy foods. How many calories a day are you eating?

[jellybean1986]

i think it is only around 800 usually. Not cutting calories purposely but eating healthy and not hungry and this seems to be the amount. I know if you dont eat enough cals and train as well your body can cling to cals so as not to burn them all if your starving, dont want this to happen to me but dont feel like im eating too little

[sourpuss]

Ok, 800 is not near enough. Double it (at least), especially if you are working out.
