in another thread you mentioned you do 4500 cals so your still counting some what correct? may i ask what you are eating because that is alot of food. i dont think i could even do that
Yeah I still estimate though I try to think about it less every day, if I could be rid of the habit I would.
During the day I have protein bars and fruit, ~1500 cals. At night I have pasta, veggies and fake meat, ~2500-3000 cals.
I remember a time when I could just feel stuffed, exhausted at the prospect of another bite after eating a 'normal' amount of food. Actually I ate very little and was always very lean when I was younger.
After years of force feeding the instincts wore down, they're just a faint echo of what they used to be... I can eat up to 5k in a sitting at any given moment.
Anyway thong, have you considered doing a vo2max test? They'll put you through many stages of intensity and measure the fat/carb and total calorie burn at each. Do it a couple times and you can probably put these questions out of your mind forever.
