I believe this method to be most simple and not complicated and pretty accurate.

This forum needs a BMR sticky btw..just saying lol



Your weigh in pounds x

Fat loss = 12-13 calories per lb. of bodyweight



Maintenance (TDEE) = 15-16 calories per lb. of bodyweight



Weight gain = 18-19 calories per lb. of bodyweight



Obviously it doesn't take into account work factors weather ect..you will have to factor in those needs​
 
I think it's fine to do 15 x BW in pounds to help work out maintenance, eat that for 2 weeks and then go from there..

Beyond that, I wouldn't be thinking about any set rules. Just increase/reduce what you eat slightly until you get results (not necessarily by counting cals.. I think it can be instinctive after a while), keep going until you stop getting results.. then rinse and repeat..
 
It means u gotta eat the same amount of pretty much the same shite every day..and increase or decrease as time goes on based on goals.

Bullshit. I eat different foods all the time. Eating a variety of foods is likely better as you are getting a bigger range of nutrients.
 
What the hell does that mean. Repetitive food?

Bullshit. I eat different foods all the time. Eating a variety of foods is likely better as you are getting a bigger range of nutrients.

Obviously u would include a portion if all the good foods with good nutrients. Eggs steak chicken ect but its easier if u have planned meals with a planned amount of calories like pre made meals ect..that's what I mean by pretty much repetive foods every day..
 
Repetitive food???

It's really not hard, track your calories, and weight yourself a few times a week and work out average weight, if weight doesn't really move over a month, that's basically your TDEE..
If you gain, your eating more than TDEE, if you lose then your eating less than tdee..

Most people will get a result using fancy formulas that is equal to 15-16xbw
