Both days I did similar workouts:
05/22/06
Treadmill 35 min.
Stretching 10 min.
Arms 25 min.
Total Calories Burned approx 320
05/23/06
Treadmill 35 min.
Stretching 10 min.

Total Calories Burned approx 450
Obviously the coffee and cream and the nuts are fattening; but still. These are REALLY high calorie counts. All of my calories consumed and calories burned, etc. are based on Calorie-Count.com's calculations.
Am I really porking out on these foods even though I still feel hungry a lot of the time because my gut wants to be full ALL the time (thanks to IBS  )? Do you think my calories burned is enough for me to eat these many calories and still lose weight? Should I do more treadmill??
I have even tried trading breads and rice for more squash and potatoes (yams too!) and then I still end up eating around 2200 - 2300 cal/day because these are heavy soluble fiber foods and it's harder to NOT feel hungry when you eat ONLY whole foods. Did that make sense??
HELP!!!   Thank you!!
