Take your weight (in pounds) and multiply it by 9.8. That is the maximum amount of calories one should in take daily.
If you weigh 120 lbs, the most you should eat is 1176 calories, barring any need for additional calories.
If you weigh 200 lbs, it should be 1960.
Wow! I can eat like a PIG!
Thanks! :)
My dad was the same way. At the end of winter, he usually had gained 10 pounds and went to two meals a day until he lost it...which was very quick.
Imagine...for 60 years, he was 5'10" and weighed 185 lbs. No gut on my dad!!
It's all about habits!!
That depends on your activity level. If youre not a habitual exerciser, that’s about the right amount oglf calories. However, if you’re activity level is equivalent to an Olympic athlete, that’s too few.
You are not taking in age/gender/metabolism.. I'm in my mid 20's, 6-1, 194 lbs this morning, work out 6-7 days per week..hard with weights and cardio.Very little fat. 14.9 " arms want to get up to around 15.5
I'm eating 3200-3300 calories per day and not gaining muscle mass nor any weight. A 19 year old friend is eating 4000+ per day on a 6-2 frame...protein shakes and lot's of chicken
There are some really accurate maintenece calorie(calories you consume where you don't gain or loose weight) out there on the web..Input factors such as your age, sex, height, and all you various chest, arm , hip measurements.
I eat way more calories per day than that and still don’t gain. No sugar and no fake sugar works. After going on a low GI diet, even my arthritis disappeared. Of course, I eat whole foods prepared at home, but it’s all the real stuff: bacon, butter, eggs, meat, etc. I don’t trust any charts or dietary advice from Big Gov. These girls are literally and figuratively Kool-Aid drinkers. The big thing in the hood now is the large cans of kiwi strawberry drink by Arizona. It has 25 grams of sugar per serving and there are three servings per can!
for couch potatoes maybe
