How many calories do you eat in a day?
« on: February 11, 2017, 11:13:58 PM »
I recently registered for an app called myfitness and apparently I'm only eating around 2500 calories a day. Is that too little? How many calories do you eat in a day?

2000 or less.

I did 'bulk up' in the past though, for several years...

 ::) How long have you guys been reading bodybuilding forums + lifting weights for? An hour?


What do you mean by is 2,200 calories too little? What's your height? What's your bf%? What's your weight? What's your age? What's your goal bod? How often do you train? How long do you workout for? How intense? Are you on PEDs? How physically active are you during the day........ ::)

I'm going back to working out chest in my white thong.

2000 or less? There is NO WAY you are maintaining your body weight at less than 2000 calories a day. You must only eat 2 meals a day, or 3 very small portioned meals. Also, you must be extremely inactive if you actually are maintaining your weight at less than 2400 calories for a full grown man.

I lift weights three times a week and my work is quite active.

My aim has been to lose weight and be lean, which has been working. I'm natural and in my mid 30's, so even if I'm smaller I prefer having a lean face and narrow waist.

2,400-2,600 a day. Been dieting for about three weeks. I was up near 3,200 eating whatever I wanted. That app is a good way to track the calories. You'd be surprised what you eat in a day keeping the diary. I like the barcode scanner with the app.

I've never counted calories.  (Tho I also have never competed.) My food choices are fairly consistent and so I just go with a general eat more or eat less mindset depending on what mode i'm in.

You  are natural what does that even mean, do you take pharmaceutical drugs, do you eat meat injected with hormones, do you drink alcohol then you my friend is not natural, a natural person is close to nature and eat foods the way nature made them untouched by man.

mr wes wouldnt you agree that if you are eating a clean diet, eating 2k  is not easy .

The term 'natural' in bodybuilding terms means not using anabolic steroids, hormones or performance enhancing drugs.
