Update on the Weight

Remember when I was telling yall about that assignment I had to do for health class???

Huh???

Well it was due today and I found out some things about myself... First, I found out what's the standard caloric intake for a guy (1800 calories/day) and for ladies (1200 calories/day). Then I found out how much calories that "I'm" supposed to take in daily. It's all calculated by your age, weight, height and your level of activity. I'm 19 years of age (soon to be 20 next month), about 150lbs, 5'8" tall and I just started to partake in some physical activities so with all of that calculated, I am supposed to take in 1734 calories/day for me to maintain my weight which is close to the standard amount.

Now to gain weight??? It works like this...

If you want to gain body weight, you need to consume more calories than you burn. One pound of body weight is roughly equivalent to 3500 calories, so eating an extra 500 calories per day will cause you to gain one pound a week. So being that my daily caloric intake for me to maintain my weight is 1,734, I’ll have to take in 2,234 calories a day to gain.

I also did my daily calorie log and it went like this...

Thurday: 1874 total calories (maintaining)
Friday: 1430 total calories (sub-par, don't know what happened on this day, lol)
Saturday: 1788 total calories (maintaining)
Sunday: 2534 total calories (gained)

I guess the issue is me being inconsistant with eating. If only I could eat a lil bit more of that juicy thing as shown up about (mmmmmmmm..... Steak!!!!) and with there being six more weeks of winter, maybe I could accomplish gaining 20 pounds before summer rolls around. I'm on a mission now and as a matter of fact, my belly is telling me to get the fuck of this thing and fill'er up!! lol

~til the next time
