I've been doing some calculations. When I started my journey, my basal metabolic rate - my caloric requirement to maintain a steady state - was 2,736 calories per day. It now stands at 2,186 calories per day. So it is now significantly harder to maintain a reasonable deficit. To that end, I have made a couple of changes.
First of all, as of today I am no longer having a banana with breakfast. I didn't seem to miss it this morning and anyway, 3 bananas a day was probably way too much. That's 105 calories per day. Secondly, I have changed the brand of wrap I have with my lunch, resulting in another 81 calories. That's around 1200 caloires a week. If 1 pound = 3,500 calories, that's about 160 grams of fat lost per week - after metrification. At least in theory. Hopefully it will work.Every little bit counts.
