and with my knowledge of weight i can tell you, what ever your basal metabolic rate is, you were 239 calories under it for the last year...on the avg.
figuring 3500 calories a pound of body weight, 365 day or so...so 25lb'sx3500/365 that would tell you how many calories you burn normally, and you don't need to worry that much to cut 239 on avg, i lost 30lbs in 3 years just cutting it buy 50 on avg....
i like weight.....
(and there's a lot more to eating then calories. you got to get vitamins, minerals, amino acids, esential lipids! gotta make that meal count! )
Phhhht! Way too complicated.
I just ditched the midnite tube of Ritz crackers, peanut butter, strawberry preserve, a butter knife and a paper towel.
Or, alternately, settling down with a quart of Brigham's mocha chip ice cream and a soup spoon.
At least a couple thousand calories with either option - and totally at the wrong time of the daily cycle, of course
Anyway...at 6'5" 198 and 70-ish, I'm feeling much more spry than carrying that extra 25 pounds.
Ever pick up 25 pounds? That's like a countertop microwave. Crazy to just drop that without really giving up much, amiright?
Cheers! (And no beers were harmed in the offing! )
LOL, to each their own, my 6'2" 170 something ass think my picnic taps are still just fine after 16 years of use..but you or someone here, did help out with the 3/16" upgrade from 1/4"..i don't get any foamy pours, but with 10' i start getting bored filling a glass!
edit: but in my case i gotta neuter my beer like spaying neutering your dog/cat
i would say in my experience it take 7-8 calories to maintain a pound of body weight...so a 239 defecit is unstanable, unless you plan on starving. just trying to be helpful.
