1, 825, 000 calories need for the year..

Ok, I am going to try this again.. I tried this once and got overwhelmed and lost.. so lets see if I can make this work better for 2013..

In general for health, and for ease of rounding out.. DH and I need 5000 calories per day, 365 days in a year and we need 182, 5000 in calories.. While it would be hard to grow everything we need on the farm, my question is more along the lines of in 2013, regardless if its balanced, did we grow/raise those calories on the farm? If not, what percent can we do so..

Jan

Lamb Meat Imputes: 223020

Pork Meat Imputes: 231000

Beef Imputes; 226800

Milk – 6480

Eggs- 7200

Jan imputes : 694500 which means that in the single month of Jan, we had a major meat overload and over half of the years needed calories provided but lets face it, you can not live on meat, milk and eggs alone..

    How did you figure out how many calories?

        Sorry I should have asked how you figured out how many calories each you need in a day. I have looked at various sites for me and it varies from 1400 to 1800 calories a day.

      • Went based on what we eat now when we are on stay-vation and doing everything by hand, Gave myself per much 2000 per day an gave Dh 3000 per day, We have a scale that can tell you how many calries a day to maintain your weight and given that info vs what I have tracked us eating on heavy work weeks when we are both on the farm in spring, summer or fall.. Would not want to go less and depending on what was going on, would need to go more.

      • So if you wanted to find out, you can use the scale with the electric current to get a true reading on what you use right now, then use that as your base, then over the next year, pick a week when you are working in different weathers and journel out what you are eating, ideally try and get at least two weeks worth for each season, when you are home, each season gives its own challanges, and do your weigh-in and see if you hold, gain or lose.

        Between the three things, you should be able to get a firm idea of what your body needs calorie wise and go from there.
