Everyones daily intake

[Welsh_Biatch]

Basically i want to know what everyones daily food intake is, i eat a few biscuits each day and drink loads of tea. I have an underactive thyroid which makes it difficult to lose weight and i exercise quite hard but dont see a big difference with toning my muscles. So whats your diet and exercise plan like?

Hiya, well I have up to 900 cals a day max most days I don't reach the whole 900 somedays I only eat about 3 or 400. I don't do any exercise cuz I hate it but I run round after 5 kids and I go on their big trampoline. Occassionally I will slip up and binge but it doesn't last for long maybe a couple of hours then I feel fat and try to correct things. I don't own any scales cuz I am addicted to goin on them so I just go round to my sisters every Tuesday and weigh myself there.

I'm on 800 a day and finding it really good

im also on 800 a day at the moment and its going really well. not had a crisis moment yet anyway!!
but what i eat to make up those 800 (or sometimes less) cals changes everyday... if im hungry i eat tuna and loads of salad to fill me up, or soup, cz its low cal but really filling.
but if i want chocolate il eat it, just a tiny bit, and then just count the calories as normal.

the only thing i find is that when i eat pasta or bread i get more bloated, and it gives me a chubby face the next day... carb face!!

exercise wise, i go to the gym at least 4 times a week, and always do at least 400cals worth of cardio plus situps and swimming as well. or il do cardio then go to a yoga class or something.

and on non gym days i try to walk to work or uni or whatever, cz they are both about 400cals worth round trips.

im managing this now cz im still quite heavy though... i might find it harder when i start to lose!!!

I do max 800, but usually 500.

I dont do much exercise, i hate it. But i was wondering, how do you guys know how much calories you burn? I swim sometimes and walk a lot at school, but i generally make up for my lack of exercise by restricting my calorie intake.

I usually eat a meal replacement shake (200 cals) for breakfast, then i have 1/2 a meal replacement bar(100 cals) then a 300 cal limit for tea.

If im feeling like a binge i usually have Jelly (called Jello in USA :P) for about 10 cals, or a massive binge will be a packet of Weight Watchers Custard, around 50 cals.

probably around 3000ish, then again im a guy and im venturing from the bulimia forum...

there are loads of counters on the internet for tellin you how many cals you have burned.. try caloriesperhour.com cz it has lots on there. at the gym its easy cz the machines calculate it for you.

From the exercise you do, do you look musclular/toned. What about height, weight if anybody is comfortable with saying. I find it quite interesting the different eating habits we all have with the same ED.

Thanks for the replys

i can definitely tell teh difference if i dont exercise for a week or so... my stomach and legs/bum particularly.. although muscle is heavier than fat, so you have to be aware of that if you are gna start doin a lot of exercise.

I'm trying for a 400/500 day, but I'm going to try adding a five day fast in every two weeks to see how that works. I may start off, since I've been on a MAJOR binge the last few days, with 800 calorie days. ;3
