I recently read in a magazine this formula for determining your daily caloric intake:
Weight X 18 - 500 = daily caloric intake
(For women it’s weight X 15 - 500)
I boldly entered my own weight into my calculator, multiplied by 18, then subtracted 500.... and discovered that I should consume no more than 2,614 calories per day.
I’m not an over-eater, but I do like food; fried foods and desserts being my weakness.
I fear waking up one morning with a pot belly and man boobs.
Sad realization is that I can never stop going to the gym or else my waist would increase to sizes that would force me to be weighed on a Richter Scale.
