Calories...and such
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!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
No, that doesn't have 500 calories in it.
K is KiloCalories ;-)
Multiply your bodyweight by 15 and subtract about 500-700 calories to get your desired weight loss daily caloric intake.

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)

Hi,
first of all I would like to know what kind of coke you are drinking that has 500 calories because I am going to make sure that I stay away from it.
Most soft drinks only have about 120 calories. You did say it was a regular can, right?
As you probably know, losing weight is burning more calories than you take in. If you haven't seen the results you want from the gym, you are still taking in too many calories.
Try to start keeping a daily log of what you eat and what the calories are. Try to burn more than that with your exercise. Also, diets always work better when you combine them with exercise. Working out builds muscle which burns calories even when you're not working out. Try to cut one thing out of your diet like coke for instance or chips or bread. Drink more water throughout the day to keep you full. These are just a few suggestions. I hope I helped:)
Good luck,
Ediemarie
