calorie intake was created by ice-rip
hi all
ive read the sticky above and using the formula calculated my bmr to 2291 cals/day. when i factor in my activity x 1,4 i get 3207 cals/ day to maintain my bodyweight. if i want to lose fat i subtract to pick up musle i add.

i currently worked out to lose fat i need 348 pro, 209 carb, 62 fat. this is a 50/30/20

i will follow this for 3 days and on the 4th day Doctari suggests to eat a third of the above protein and add the other two thirds to carbs. this means on my fourth day i will eat 116 pro, 441 carbs and 62 fat.

doesnt that sound like to many carbs.

on rest days how many cals are consumed. is it the original bmr or do you still factor in the activity level

my stats
age 32
height 198cm
weight 106kg

thanks

calories in vs calories out,working out all these calculations are pretty useless though,what you need to do is change your current diet,cos if you have been eating roughly 2500 calories and a calculator tells you that you need 2900 calories to loose fat,by adding in calories you will end up gaining not loosing...

to put yourself in a defecit add in cardio and add in extra sets before you start cutting down calories,rather work and burn the calories off vs starve them off...
