When it uses the most energy and when it uses the least. However, by taking a look at my body’s pattern over time, I have become hyper-aware of how my body uses energy. Not that you need to obsess over these numbers. On the left screen, you can see the total calories burned 2,079. On the right screen you can see the activity of me sitting all day. On days I do not workout, I can see that I burn up to 2,079 calories.

You may not be eating as much as you think you are. I ate this huge dinner! I eat so much all the time! I had a bacon burger, french fries, coke, and I even had an appetizer! I eat a lot!… But your day is spent on your feet (being busy) and that’s the only meal you ate… You might be burning 3,000 calories in a day and your “I eat a lot” may be the ONLY thing you eat all day (1,700 calories). You are probably eating way more than your body needs and in turn storing fat.

Oh… It looks like I burn only 2,000 calories on weekdays, maybe because I sit all day. What that looks like with an Apple watch… Why am I gaining weight? Your apple watch will extend insightful knowledge about your activity and My Fitness Pal will say “Hey stomach, you don’t need more than what I gave you”. You don’t have a spoon and no one has taught you how to use it. Why is this so damn hard and messy? Do I look like an idiot? It’s sort of like using our hands to eat soup. When we’re gaining weight and can’t figure out what the hell to do to lose it. Inventions and objects are usually made to do something easier, faster, and more efficient. We use forks instead of fingers and spoons instead of cupping our hands.
