		<description>GREAT blog Tyler. It really inspires me. Quick question. When you are out eating, do you write down the calories you are intaking? How do you know how much you are intaking?</description>

		<description>I count 1571 average for those 5 days.  Perfect.

Why don&#039;t you ever list the weekends?  Those count too, don&#039;t they?</description>

This is my argument against Weight Watchers.  They get so hung up on points instead of what you eat.  You should not be able to eat a Snickers bar for breakfast, lunch, and dinner just because it fits in your points.

Get your fruits and veggies in and continue to exercise.  Your health and weight loss will follow.</description>

		<description>1250 is not a lot of calories for all the exercise you&#039;ve been doing, and you might lose more weight if you ate a little more. If you start to plateau, consider upping your intake a bit. 

Also, maybe think about counting nutrients instead of counting calories:  5-7 servings of fruit or vegetables a day (filling up half your plate with veggies counts as 2-3 servings), 4-5 servings of whole grains, 3-4 servings of cheese/milk/yogurt (for calcium, protein, vitamin d) 2-3 servings of lean protein.  I&#039;m not a nutritionist and these numbers are pretty arbitrary,  but trying to hit goals for what you SHOULD eat instead of counting calories for what you shouldn&#039;t is more fun. It also makes you aware of all the non-nutritious crap you&#039;re eating.  Getting all these types of food in every day requires a LOT of eating (most of it water-based, low cal stuff like vegetables, or super-filling whole grains like quinoa); you&#039;d be surprised how much you can eat when you&#039;re eating the right things.  If you&#039;re working your body this hard with exercise, you should be eating hard to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to repair.</description>
