anyone over 240lbs; just curious how many calories you guys have to eat on a cycle and off a cycle to keep your weight up?

[rado]

not me, thats way too much for me. Being 5"7' I can only carry around 200lbs, I'm only 5lbs away.

Does 235 count as big?

close enough.
my question is "if anyone is over 240lb. (235lb), how many calories do you consume each day?"

how many during a cycle and how many off cycle to keep weight up?

Try figuring your basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Here's how:


Take your height in INCHES then convert it to CM(2.54 CMs per Inch), write that down. Then take your weight in LBS and convert it to KGs (divide your weight by 2.2)
Next go with the Harris-Benedict Formula:
66 + (13.7 X WT) + (5 X HT) - (6.8 X A) =
WT= Weight
HT = Height
A = Age
After plugging in that formula, circle that number. Next choose your activity factor:
Sedentary- ( little to no exercise) X .3
Moderate - (what most of us probably are) X .5
Heavy - (Extreme trainers, quite rare) X.75

-Take the number you circled multiply that by either .3, .5 or .75 depending on what your activity factor is. Like I said most of us are probably moderate, you guys who've been trainig for 5+ years pretty hard and combine cardio with weight training are more than likely Heavy, but be honest with yourself, this is for you, not your friends and people you wish to impress.

* Last step- Thermic food effect. Take your orginial BMR(the # you circled) add it to the new number(BMR + activity factor) and multiply that .10. Equation looks like this: (BMR + AF) X .10
***This Thermic food effect # must be ADDED to your BMR + Activity Factor!
*This final number if the total amount of calories you need to MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT BODYWEIGHT!

YellowJacket - Question.....

That last step....do you add the thermic food effect number to the BMR and BMR+Activity Factor...so it looks like this:

(thermic food effect #) + (BMR) + (BMR and Activity Factor) =

or you just add thermic food effect number to the BMR+Activity Factor like this:

(thermic food effect #) + (BMR and Activity Factor) =


I'm guessing the second one, right?

LOL, 170... hehehehe

Nuts...dissed!

[YellowJacket]

You add the BMR to the Activity factor, then do your thermic food effect, then add it to the BMR/Activity Factor..

Example:

BMR is 1400
Activity factor is 600

Thats 2000.

Thermic food effect is 450

2000 + 450 = 2450.
