advice

Well my question is about calories.

I've been working out at the gym for quite some time now but I don't really see much progress so I want to try a diet.

Now could somebody advice me how many calories I can consume if I work out for about 2 hours a day(including sauna in those 2 hours,if that matters)

And also : when I drank some coke today I saw this displayed on the can : 0.5 kcal

Now I'm in a science education and I know k stands for calories.

So that means there are 500 calories in that coke?(not diet or anything,just a regular coke)

I mean,isn't that really really much? :|

I've heard of diets where you can only consume about 1000 calories a day,so that's equal to 2 sodas,and that's equal to MADNESS!!

first of all you say you're dieting but you're drinking coke? (could be part of the reason you're no seeing results?) if you're serious about losing weight you need to cut out soda, its waisted calories and a lot of sugar that actually will make you hungrier. stick to only water also limit packaged foods..
but about the kcal im not really sure what that would mean because i dont think a regular soda would only have .5 calories but sodas dont usually have 500 calores? normal 100-200ish (waisted calories, you could have a filling piece of meat for that soda!)
also cant really say how many calories you should consume a day unless you tell us your age and weight, but normally if you're trying to lose weight you should consume about 1500 calories (shouldnt go less than 1200 or you'll go into starvation mode and evntually gain weight) and just make sure its calories consisted of HEALTHY food, and workout (lots of cardio) and make sure you're lifting weights to build muscle and lose fat =]
also make sure you're getting enough protein!
+ dont forget your veggies of course ;] (filling and low in calories)
