New way of counting calories

Instead of counting daily calories, I just tabulated the last 100 days of food by weight from grocery bills.

On average two of us ate 3700 calories per day with 38% fat, 44% carbohydrates and 17% protein. Omega 6 to 3 ratio is around 3, not taken into consideration of occasional spoonful of flax oil.

My BMI is at 18.8 and Richard is at 22.1; most people “hate” us because we look so thin.

Here are some of the foods we ate:

25 kg of fish
108 eggs
9 kg of nuts
18 kg of cheese
46 kg of grapes
32 kg of apples
Over 100 kg of vegetables
22 liters of red wine
3 kg of chocolate
& etc.

Looking at the amount of foods we ate, I would assume that we are over-eating. In reality, we are 10 to 20% caloric restricted.

I would like to pad myself on the back and say “Keep up the good diet”.
