There are a number of different equations and calculators you can use to get an ESTIMATE on your calorie requirements.im getting really confussed about my daily intake or 1400, I want to find my BMR again and work out my maintance and see what 500 below that is,
Can anyone help me with the calcutaions ive tried a few on the net and i dont know how accurate they are,
age 20 84kg and 5 foot 7 i think??
My main convern is when i get down to my goal of 70kg i dont want my maintance to be low, The body gets used to calorie expenditure?
3.5k cals hmmmm. my dexa scan results said eat 1900 per day and expend 2000 from exersis per week,
even if i ate 3k a day i would pile on the weight like no tomorrow.
ill be reporting back in a month with my 1400 per day and see the results.
Just started my morning HIIT from fadis thread and 1 week into the Begingers weights program.
Feeling good none the less.
1400 is unnecessarily low. I was 'dieting' on 1900+ when i got down to 82.5kgs at ~5%BF3.5k cals hmmmm. my dexa scan results said eat 1900 per day and expend 2000 from exersis per week,
even if i ate 3k a day i would pile on the weight like no tomorrow.

Unless you are a 65kg woman, why would you want to drop your calories down to 1200?ok its been 4 weeks at 1400 a day, ive been doing the Beginers weights program 3 times a week aswell,
i droped 3 kg but the alst 2 weeks ive got back to 87KG. Im getting strogner and shoulders are getting even bigger, chest aswell i can see some mucle defintion comming through, I gather i can put on lean mucle quite easy,
But im doing the opposite to my goal, im thinking of dropping down to 1200 cal per day. But this seems darn drazy and not needed.
Also due to achillies tenodnits i cant run/skip, so a deficit is a must.
I dont want to stop lifting, and im sure i dont need to stop. but im struggling.
New macros are P 217 F 73 C 168,
I was only tracking cals last time, i will try hit all macros this time round. Theres no real good macro tracker that i can find, Any sugestions?
I use calorie king on my laptop. Gotta pay for it but it's the best one I have used. Others may know of some good or better free ones though.
One thing that I have found is that when you up your calories, even if it is under maintenance, I put on a kg or 2 the day or so after, probably due to the extra food in your guts and extra carbs, then the weight starts going down again. So don't freak out if you put on a couple kgs and decide to cut Cals back down to 1000. Give it a some time for your weight to stabilise then start dropping.
calorie king is free...
MFP works fine for tracking macros for me. There must be something up with the accuracy of your logging before as there is no way you could put on 3kg from 84-87 eating 1400/day. I'm 77kg and cut weight averaging 2400ish/day using Max Brenner's above guidelines for macros. Those new macros look like a much better start.
