Dailyplate and Fitness tracking.. Or lack of!



Recommended Posts

Hi all and hope everyone is doing well. I have a question about dailyplate.com

This is a little long... Sorry.

I haven't been logging cause I was being bad.. Drinking far too many caloric drinks aka wine haha. I quit and haven't touched it since New Years... Oddly enough I dumped 3 lbs after that haha... so that's an incentive.

I was trying to get back in the swing of updating my stuff on dailyplate. I checked the fitness section just to see what my daily routine burns even though it's just Office work, house work, cooking, short dog walk, then vegetating lol. Bad bandster I know. I am sedentary in the winter months then go bonkers with outdoor activities in the spring.

So I started with looking up Office work... Supposeably for LIGHT OFFICE work I would burn 188 calories per hour? I mean come on.. I freaking work 10+ hours a day. I would wither away instead of having a pound or 2 here and there.

Maybe I should get the bugg and see if it's the same but I dunno about wearing that thing on my arm all the time.

Does anyone else know a reliable source that doesn't have unrealistic numbers of calories burned for everyday activities?

I am not sure how reliable it is, because I don't track every day tasks, just my daily exercise. But I use Sparkpeople.com

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
