0815 this morning = 137 pounds, wish I had a digital scale, I had to put my glasses on to read the numbers.
I've discovered quite a lot about my caloric intake over the last couple weeks.
1 I don't eat as much as I thought I did
2 most days I eat less calories than I'm allowed
3 portion control is the key
4 coffee does have calories, not many but they are there
5 remember to add the liquid calories, beer, wine, vanilla latte, etc.
6 two hours of curling burns 508 calories, at least for us leads, you skips probably not so much
On the whole I eat pretty healthy so this has not been too difficult. I've been really surprised by how few calories I eat, and my protein intake is really quite high for a vegetarian, I average about 72 g of protein a day, I only need 64. Using The Daily Plate to track my calories, protein, sugar, carbs etc has been working great. I can also track my physical activities and how many calories they burn. I'm sure I am taking in some hidden calories, a piece of candy here, an extra beer there but I figure I burn them off one way or another.

Have you worn your heart rate monitor while curling to determine how many calories you burn?
