Title: How Many Calories do you eat per day?
Post by: Method101 on July 10, 2008, 06:18:39 AM: I was just wondering how much everyone eats here..
This question is split into two parts.

1. When trying to gain muscle how many calories do you eat per day?

2. When trying to lose fat how many calories do you eat per day?

Post by: dustin on July 10, 2008, 04:21:24 PM: I try to eat a certain amount of macros (counted in grams), but it usually ends up around 3000-3200 kcals a day. A little less on off days, despite all the chubby swole homies that swear by eating hyoooge amounts on off days too. That only gave me a sugar belly.

exactly

3200 cals is alot actually... i mean..lets say you eat 300-350 g protein per day, along with 400 grams carbs, and then just whatever fat is hidden in your protein and carbs. thats considered pretty damn high !

few guys eat that much clean carbs on a day to day basis.

i am trying to slowly get up there. right now im at like 250-300.

My calorie requirements are very low. I find if I stay at 2500 max with brutal workouts I am fine. If I am not too active then I will gain fat on 2000. Of course that 2000 calorie count is not very good food.

Post by: _bruce_ on July 10, 2008, 05:00:53 PM: 1+2. I guess around 2000 - 2500 kcal. Mostly from fats - little saturated, much mono-, polyunsaturated... can't say gain or loose because my waist shrunk while my bodyweight stayed the same.

There were times were I would eat a good 4000+ via junk...

how did you do that? what did you eat?
it wasnt uncommon for me to eat entire extra large family size pizzas with extra cheese and meat lovers toppings. along with that try cheese filled bread sticks dipped in the pizza sauce, and maybe a gallon of ice cream for dessert. mountain dew as a drink. thats the kind of normal meals i would eat at one time.

and at night, you ever take a big brick of cheese and a bowl of salsa and cut off big chunks of cheese and use them as chips for the salsa? YUM ;D
