Oh, counting calories I am! (well, kilojoules, but whatever)Originally Posted by Ark
Since you like KCals, my current diet fluctuates between 950Kcals and 1500Kcals. I try to aim for the lower end of it, since most of the food specs are calculated on "drained weight", but I will like to mix some of that oil/sauce into the veges. Frankly, microwaved/steamed veges get old fast.
Too bad the good tasting ones are more starchy (or perhaps that's WHY they taste better, haha).
Since I'm lazy, my diet now consists of:
-vegetables: frozen, 1KG bags of veges. One bag per day. KJ intake can vary from 870 to 2000+ per bag depending on its contents. Ingredients that increase it include corn, potato and peas.
-meat: canned sardines/tuna/salmon/oysters/mussels. Actually started off with roast chicken, but they vary too much in size to estimate the intake properly. Today I actually went for sausages instead. Meat generally contributes 2000-4000KJs.
Generally, if I'm eating meats that are heftier that day, I'll try to match it up with the lighter veges to balance it out...
As for the eating less/more thing, I guess one benefit of eating more frequently is to shrink my stomach so I won't be wanting to eat as high a volume of food when I finally resume a more balanced diet.
