I wish I tracked my data diligently when I started at 326 pounds but oh well.
I’ve now got 8 weeks worth of calories and body weight tracking in cronometer. It’s pretty interesting to say the least.
Just some points:
- My regular caloric goal is about ~1750 calories
- Cronometer reads my whoop activity calories burnt and adds that onto my daily goal. I always try to eat more in days with exercise but I don’t usually try to meet that goal because who knows how accurate it really is
- I’ve been cycling a lot. Some days my whoop says I burned thousands of calories
- I had some really really bad days at around 5k calories
- I must be very impatient because I feel like my progress has been so slow but the data proves me wrong
Key takeaways:
- 5k calories in a day didn’t destroy my diet
- weight loss is not linear, I seem to have a 5lb range where I’m bouncing up and down. Day to day, it drives me insane and I really get into my own head. This graph has really helped me worry less and keep me on a good path. Especially after having a really bad day of overeating
- over 8 weeks I’ve averaged 2969 burned and 2355 consumed. That is a 614 average daily deficit over 56 days for a total of 34,384 calories. With 3500 calories per pound, that’s 9.8 pounds. In reality I’ve gone from 254 to 240. So, I’ve lost more than I should have. Perhaps my BMR is being underestimated? Something for me to think about.
I really made this post to just share information and my experience I guess. I just figured out how to work the graphs in the app and thought it was kind of interesting!
