Ive been cracking down on my diet as my bodyfat seems to have stabilized around 10% or so. My diet is fairly consistent however I had a hunch I was off target by say 300 calories.
I typically eat 2 whole eggs in an omellete for breakfast and use about 3 tbsp of olive oil in a non stick pan. How many calories do you figure the oil adds to the food if a tbsp is about 110 cals? There is usually a tsp of oil leftover in the pan and definitely some of it splatters. I now figure that whole mixture was about 500 calories (the 2 eggs and the oil) and factoring in that into a breakfast of about 600 because I eat a banana and two cups of coffee as well.
Is it worth ditching the oil and getting a nonstick pan? I don't like the idea of eating teflon instead of olive oil.
I should add that I do cardio atleast once a day sometimes twice a day for about 20 minutes a time. This worked for awhile but I am starting to see a decline in bodyfat loss so I need to start reducing my diet. Strength has increased on bench press, curls, pullups, etc at this whole time and I have been training about 3-4 years.
