hey i have a question.. say i eat 1400 calories per day, but 800 of those are from chewing gum...(yes, 2 8 packs per day usually i chew it like candy then pop another in, bad i know) but... will that keep me from losing weight? since i've started to do that i've still stayed the same weight and its not helping me lose anymore after the first 5 lbs i lost by just cutting cals. hm...help! Does chewing gum calories even keep you from losing?!?

YOu posted something a page back about how many calories were in a fried chicken sandwich...DON'T FRY ANYTHING!!! Frying anything will make it REALLY REALLY fattening and really high in calories. Use fat free\calorie free canola cooking spray instead. It works great, and I like it better than oil\butter.

if anyone wants to find out how many calories they need a day, go to google, then type in: how many calories do i need a day. then go to the second to last website at the bottom which is www.rd.com. you type in your information and it will tell you. to lose up to 2 to 3 pounds a week, eat 500-750 calories less than what you need. for example, if you need 1200 cals, eat only 700 calories a day and youll lose weight. you can also excersize without having to eat less calories

My friends are being really rude right now. Everyday at school I have a bag of peanuts for lunch, and then I eat when I get home. I space things out throughout the day and always have between 1200 and 1600 calories a day. But because I only have peanuts at school they are asking me if I am anorexic, not because of the way I look, but because of what I eat. They dont understand that I eat Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which I told them that. Well it is this one girl who is really rude to me, but is friends with my friends. And I told them no I am not anorexic, and she goes doubtful. If you met this girl you would not like her, which I think she is just jealous. Which if you know me from before, I am 5'5 and between 150-160 pounds, I want to be 120-130. It is hard when my friends say things like these. I just have to be positive, they are good friends besides that. So it is not like they are bad, I mean one of my best friends is a guy and he eats alot, but is really skinny. so yeah I just had to get that out. Thanks for listening.
