Calories per day

3000 just now,like to **** about with them,few months ago i pissed about and upped it to 6000 and gained 40lbs in 8 weeks haha

 

How does it **** with your metabolism?

 

Your body adapts to maintain on lower calories. Then eventually when you aren't losing on 1600kcal you have to either decrease food further or up cardio. For a person with his stats, 1600kcal is horrendous.

 

Won't having "cheat" days counteract that though? Or is the intake just too low for that?

 

Let me know how 1,500kcal at your height and weight pans out in the long-term.

 

I've never counted calories only grams of protien.

I weigh 235 pounds at 5' 10" used to compete in bodybuilding and boxing now just maintain for health

 

What difference are you suggesting that makes exactly?

I love how you say that I don't have a clue, then post an example day of under 1,500kcal which if the food choices posted are consistent, you're running into a number of deficiencies.

 

180lb 2400 calories. 340grams of carbs and 130-150g protein. I'm trying to maintain this weight and have energy

 

Hahaha yeah man, 2-3 times a day. I take ginger pills to help with my digestion and it seems to help. I'm taking a few days off training because i injured my knee so i'm gonna lower my calories for a little

 

1500 cal is to little. my grandma eats more than that! if your eating healthy, and you are boxing there is no reason to not up your cal intake to around 2 to 2.5k.

 

You do realize you need fats in your diet?
