Thowing this out there and seeing if anyone can help me or would have a guess. Ok lets say you buy a lb. of frozen shrimp and cook that up and eat it, yes know it's a lot but this was after a massive workout. How much would you lose in weight wise from the thawing out of the shrimp and then the discarding of the shells? Also how would you ever figure out how much of the Old Bay would go into the shrimp if you boiled it in Old Bay?


I see some mention here of exercise but don' know if it is stated enough if you spend a long period of time out exercising and it not being at a fast pace that you will burn more calories off than going fast and doing it for a shorter period of time.


I did a pretty massive bike ride today where we were pace lining and yes didn't eat enough calories out on the bike or the lunch stop as we went through there at 9 AM or even after the race the result my body is screaming for calories tonight.

Ride stats

63.32 miles
ride time 3 hrs. 38 minutes 20 seconds
average speed 17.40 mph
elevation climbing or gain 2814 feet
max speed 32 mph

Having fun riding the bike with friends priceless

Ok so I looked into fitday.com and they list shrimp this way

oz, with shell, raw yield after cooking

I take this to mean this is the calorie count after getting rid of the shell.

Having never counting calories being burned before while exercising it looks like they are saying you burn off about 3264 calories a day just doing normal stuff and then I burned off 3028 calories today while riding my bike for a total of 6292 for the day and right now I have 4000 calories eaten but still am starving today and can't seem to get enough calories in. Does this sound right just curious.

I think when you burn a massive amount of calories, as in long range biking, your body does crave calories. I know that even when I was exercising more I would crave more food but it all worked out calorie-wise that I still lost.

mmm, thats a pretty long bike rider, and you should have something that you can munch on during a break or something like that, protien bars; peanut butter; hard boiled eggs; something high protien that will keep your muscles moving the way you want them to be moving.With the amount of energy you expend riding that long, you might want to check into lc whole grain breads, ...
