diet journal says that I have a 2000 calorie defecit. I put in all the information about what i ate and how much and what cardio i did that day and it still seems wrong to me. Any help on what to do.

How can ANY calculator (especially online) can tell you how much Kcals you've "burned" ?

This si Bull**** if you want idea and yes 2000 kcal deficit you'll be dead

Maybe calculator is over shooting BMR so can someone please tell me a way that i can estimate it. Also i think maybe portions may be a little small in journal.

Any feed back is greatly appreciated.

Also all of the information that i'm asking about is on profile and open to the public

don;t worry about bmr...

this is way easier:

1 - x bw by 15 so 191 x 15 = 2855 (i think??)
2 - break this up into 33% each of protein, carbs and fat
3 - as you go decrease carsb and replace those cal's with protein and fats equally so your intake will still be the same but your macrronutirent breakdown isn't
4 - if or when fat loss slows again then increase activity 10%
5 - if or when fat loss stalls again decrease cal's 10% keeping everything else the same
6 - rinse and repeat

Is 2855 (or whatever it was) how many calories i need to sustain body weight?

haha true. but is that what you meant?

swanso5 · Post by **swanso5** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 2:20 am

nah, it'll be less then that...about 10 - 12cals/pd/bw i'd reckon

to maintain it. and to lose fat safely you'd say a 500 calorie deficit?

go to fat loss section and read "fat loss progressions", it's a bit of a read but it will explain why it isn"t necesary to have "500cal deficit"...there's better ways...as soon as you start cutting cal's, you're in trouble and going backwards

Do you know of any way to calculate BMR?
