8/22 - net

Screw the myfitnesspay ap. I don't like that it just has 3 meals and "snacks"... I eat like 6 times or more a day and so it's not showing me my patterns. It's a convenient tracking of other elements like protein, carbs, fats and sodium... but I need to find something that works better for what I'm doing.

Currently, my BMR is 1570... my goal is to eat NET 1400-1450 calories a day. What this means is that I add my burned calories from exercise to my allowance. So... like today... I lifted (which I don't count in calorie burning) and ran which burned 750. So, 1400+750...I get to eat 2150 calories! WOOT!
I try to eat 160g protein a day... and balance that with the same in carbohydrates.
Aside from my occasional cheats, I eat clean.

CLEAN: no flour, no dairy (ok, super minimal), no refined sugar, no oil (or limited used as sprays for cooking/baking), no white rice, no reg potatoes... avoiding man-made things. Sort of paleo, but I get to eat oats (Paleo says no grain) and legumes. mmmmm peanuts!

I'm not even sure this whole net thing is gonna work out... that's a LOT of calories every day with me working out more and more. I'm going to try this for at least a few days and then I might go back to a set caloric goal for a few more weeks as I keep leaning out (this is just a stage... once I get to my goal BF then I will be at a maintenance stage where I will try to maintain weight and go for some gains in certain muscles groups that need it).
But since I have the calories to spare, I'm going to get myself a treat :) Running means I get so many cheats! I love this shit. HAHA
