Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hi everbody, I am quite newbie about CRON. I experience CRON last six months. I lost 25 pound since I started. My set point dropped 180 lbs to 154 lbs. My calorie intake is 1800 kcal but it seems that I set at 154 lbs. My wonder is how I can calculate target BMI calories correctly. I think if 1800 kcal were correct number, my weight should keep decreasing. My target is 130-140 lbs. (Note: I tried http://www.wvda.org/calcs/fcals.htm today, I found that my calorie intake should be 1786). Maybe I will lost weight very gradually, I dont know.. My other question is about fat, carb, protein balance. I am a vegan and my diet is based on 3 rules: Calories from fat should be %10 of total calorie Calories from carb should be %80 of total calorie Calories from protein should be %10 of total calorie I also wonder CRON diet suggests/implies such rules. If so, what are the figures? Kind regards, Hakan Aygun Note: Thanks warrent who enacourage me to share my question with the group... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Haken: welcome to the group! If you have lost 25 pounds in the last 6 months, you are doing just fine. You wouldn't want to lose any faster. Sometimes we reach " plateaus " and stop losing for awhile. This can last as long as 3 months or so. So just keep plugging away. Slow and steady is the best way to lose. Be sure and read our files for more information. on 12/19/2003 3:00 PM, Hakan Aygun at hakan.aygun@... wrote: > Hi everbody, > > I am quite newbie about CRON.
