Lets say I am taking in 2300 calories a day
then lets say I do cardio and the machine says I burned 500 calories
does that allow me to take in 2800 calories a day then?
I have no fuking clue about this stuff
Take your weight, multiply it by 6.3, Take your height, multiply it by 12.9, Take your age, multiply it by 6.8...then add it all together. This will give you your BMR
Then take that BMR and multiply it depending on your activity.
Lazy Fuck = 20%
Semi Active = 30%
Super Active (Animal) = 60%
That will give you the amount of calories you can take in and maintain your body weight. From there you'll can adjust the caloric intake each day depending on what you do. If you reduce that amount by 500 calories a day, you'll lose about 1 pound a week
