Final calorie analysis

Here is a chart of my daily calorie intake over the past eighty days. If I overindulged, I would try and make up for it the following day. Indeed, when I consumed the maximum 3150 calories, the very next day I hit my daily minimum of 1130.

When I started this mission, I calculated that my body consumed around 2197 calories a day and that I would need to reduce this by 333 calories, to 1864 calories (the horizontal red line in the chart), to achieve the target of losing a stone. Surprisingly, my actual average intake over the eighty days works out at 1872 calories, a tiny difference of a 8 calories! Adding a bit more exercise than usual into the mix explains how I achieved the target before the end of September.
More good news: the rest of the RMF posse is only a fraction behind. We will all be a stone lighter by September, of that I am sure.

ps - I've stopped with the food diary now, although I'm still keeping a mental track of my calorie intake.
