Calories

So, what I said about the inexactness of determining how many calories burned during exercise goes the same for how many calories one eats.
Its a guess, an approximation.

I have to 'guess' whether an apple is medium or large. And with the supersizing of all of our food, one is hard pressed to know the size of an apple. What is 'medium'? In whose eyes?

There are those food labels, right?
I've always taken those as a guide, but not exact.

Weight Management is all about intake (calories) and output (exercise).
Its also about choosing healthy foods.

What I am learning about myself is that I consume more calories than I think. Or am willing to admit, even if I record what I eat. Its an approximation.

The indicator that I'm underestimating calories is that the scale isn't moving much. Even with the high mileage that comes with training for a marathon.

So, for the time being, I'm focusing on training and preparing for the marathon with sights to January and beyond to focus on healthy eating and continuing managing weight.
