      i do 3000 calories of cardio a week and find it hard to eat only 2k. I started counting my calories about half a year ago and I was eating 3k/day. I cut it down to 2k and tried to make better diet choices and lost about 30 lbs, but I'm really fricking hungry all the time due to how much I exercise. xok

        Why do you guys spend this much time counting?

          i just look at the exercise machine when I'm done and read the nutrition facts before i eat something. then i put it into a little spreadsheet. doesn't really take that much time. i ain't using my fingers to count lol

        Can relate. For a period I was always at a caloric deficit due to having to bike to work in addition to running 10 miles or so every other day. Running injuries and finally being able to afford a car but a cabash on that.

      Without seeing how they arrived at those numbers, I'm going to assume they aren't accounting for food waste. They might be using food "sold/purchased."
