I was going to respond with a lengthy post, but you missed a thread that saves me the time; Nutrition for boxing You should read that for starters, and hopefully it'll spur you on to investigate further.
I have but it doesnt answer any of my questions in my original post so it is irrelevant. I apreciate the effort
132lbs to 123lbs. That's 9lbs difference. (Don't work in kg sorry.) When you reduce calories drasticly, you probably lose weight at first, but you'll be hungry. When you're hungry, you're probably going to gorge out. Like you said below, you have cheat DAYS. You do that, you feel guilty, you feel like you have failed. Making it easy to gorge out regularly. Personally I don't put too much on these numbers, I'm not talking excessive and minimal. But if you ever use any of the equipment in the gym that indicates how many calories you've burnt off, it's never as many you consume. 30 minutes on the treadmill to burn off that biscuit! It kills you psychologically. Of course pay attention to those labels, and avoid the bigger numbers out there. At the moment I have a cheat meal a week, I eat whatever I want (reasonable portion size) - it is a reward and spurs me on for another week. You'll gain weight on the diet you are on anyway more than probably. You change your focus and learn about your own metabolism. I wouldn't aim to start with, just get on track and keep there. I've pulled out some calorie burning facts; 1) Between 10-30% of the calories you burn each day get burned by the simple act of digesting food! 2) 10-15% of your calorie burn comes from moving your muscles. That is anything from weights, to typing on your computer. 3) 60-80% of your daily calories are burned up from you doing just nothing. Your bodies constantly moving: breathing, heart beating and so on. You can see from the percentages, how vital a working metabolism is. I know myself that post is not all informative, however I tried to wet your appetite for further investigation and to adjust your current habits.
Get back on track, on track with what? And ok 9lb if thats 4 kg then theres no difference? And really no1 has posted anything remotley usefull
... okay... If you choose to ignore all of above and want some superficial website calculator; Calorie Calculator
LOL in his defence your post didnt seem usefull. You didnt answer any of his questions and blirted out random facts about your metabilism When i get home tonight and you still need help il try and post an in depth answer
Ok as promised 1, google BmR calculator and open up 3 or 4 of them. Do what they see and see what your Bmr is (amount of cals you use for survival while being immobile and in neutral temp) then add cals accordingly to what your doing. Try to get a deficit of about 500 cals give or take 2, If your under calories you will lose weight! Its hard because junk is high cal and doesnt fill you up but could be done. 3, I honestly do not know. 4, 0.5-0.8 kg per week is safe and proper weight loss which will stay off if done right
Because your questions have been answered plenty of times here before and no one is getting paid to answer your questions. What's with the self-entitled attitude?
Probably because it's clear you're just being lazy and couldn't be arsed to do a little research for yourself. Asking for a calorie calculator? Come on. Type calorie calculator into google and see the thousands that come up. It's not difficult. All of your questions are very basic and can be answered within 10 minutes using google. You'd be better off learning about the subject than having answers on small chunks of the entire subject.
