Hello

DP and I are taking up calorie counting (again haha) as of today. I love this method and it really works for me. We add up what ever we have eaten that day and deduct the amount burnt with our afternoon bike ride or walk.

The thing that is a little bit different this time is this we are TTC so I dont want to limit my intake too much. Usually when dieting I aim for 1200 calories, and if its over 1200, then burn the extra. I was thinking i might just bump it up to 1400 a day while im TTC? obviously i wont be trying to lose weight once we are pregnant. I'm only sitting a few kilos over my normal weight at the moment but DP is about 15kg over his normal weight so im mostly only doing it to support him in getting a little healthier.

Does any one else calorie count? How many do you aim for a day? And if your partner is counting too - how may does he aim for?
