Dont think youre meant to buy a bumper bag though
Just for you:
Bounty : Kcals 475, Protein 3.8g, Carbs 55.3g, Fat 26.5g
Cals from fat = 50%
are you smoking a havana in your piccy?
;}
No - its a rather large Greek brandy and coke while on holiday in Zante
But – a few people on this site seem to think I’m smoking somthing
Oh for a proper sack of Walkers
You can go off people you know.
It might be warmer , I might be swimming or sunning myself with a sundowner instead of bloody freezing my t**s off in the North West of England - thermals tonite!
You must have a bounty in front of you or eaten by now that you can tell us what it contains!!
Help its coffee time in the office and I've just been handed a custard donut!!! Oh I can't resist. How many calories does that have then. At least it won't put any weight on before tonights weigh in - I hope.
Better still how many mins do I have to run to work it off?
I do love custard donuts. Nearly as much as jam ones.
is any one else?
may need a tomato soup transfusion soon!
question- are pot noodles friends or enemies? are they a reasonable snack meal or are they total junk?
Tryer, I think the elliptical cross-trainer is supposed to be the next best piece of equipment to the treadmill for burning off fat and exercising the correct muscles for running. I don't know how hard you'll have to work on it to deal with a custard doughnut.
Bune, hope the cat is OK.
Nearly home time.
I had half bowl of cornflakes (its getting too cold for cornflakes in the morning, but can I get up earlier to make porridge?), then risotto at lunch (at the cleanest shiniest pub I've ever been to) followed by chocolate gav-something cake - like solid chocolate really.
No running today or yesterday.
Are Tanita fat monitors any good or a waste of money?
Wild Will - 35% calories from fat is only 5% over the national recommended amount of fat isn't it? In this weather, that's practically nutritious.
apparently they are not that good at measuring athletic people - my problem obviously- only the more expensive one's
they also eat batteries - I've hardly used mine and the batteries packed up - unless its pretending so it doesnt have to measure my fat
apparently the more expensive ones have better memories - 'hey you fatso you used to only weigh 101/2stone 2 years ago!@ you get the gist
Fat callipers are probably better- and water measuring is supposed to be the most accurate I'm sure V-rap will Know more about that than me
Still Im not sure getting hung up on fat is as important to health as feeling fit and healthy
A certain amount of fat is neccessary aqnd as the weather gets colder more useful- not that I'm advocating morbid obesity - but sometimes runners can get a little carried away
personally I always like Terry Wogan's school of fat measurement - stand naked in front of a mirror and jump up and down and if things wobble that shouldnt - well your fat!
boingwobble!
have lost 3 inches though!
I always have a cup of coffee before hockey - think it may help my reactions - (my fast twitch muscle - ha ha) but mostly it makes me sweat a lot and p a lot!
especially something called 'rocket fuel'
The problem with caffeine is that it tends to demand to be accompanied by a chocolate biscuit.
Where I think this helps most is it does give me some idea of what I could get to. So at 212 lbs and 26% - I should be able to comfortably loose 8% or approx 17lbs. That would make me the same weight I was when I was 17/18 years old but would still be a fairly high fat content.
And actually I want to run faster and look better so these numbers are just a guide. Not an end in themself.
Have been working very hard to day so no forum abuse. I haven't trained yesterday or today due to excess of work. It's half term next week so hopefully be able to go to Gym every day.
I have a bit of a bad day to say that I have done no running. Bagel for breakfast, and a packet of peanut M&M's waiting for my Daughter. Veggie sausages and msh tonight, but I'll go for mashed swede with no butter :-(
I will be 10 st 13lbs by the end of the week or off it comed with the kitchen knife :-)

My scales read 35% fat.
VRap
I use them for comparison ie started out at 49% fat
I move far more gracefully in water
