According to some information I recieved when I got serious about losing weight it depends on activity level ( this came from the ADA and a nutrition class I attended )Originally posted by thesaint258 View Post
inactive/obese: weight X 10 = calories/day to consume
1800 calories for a 180 lb person
medium activitey: weight X 15 = calories/day to consume
2700 calories for 180 lbs
athelete: weight X 20 = calories/day to consume
3600 calories for 180 lbs
As always Take it FWIW
I may be small, but I'm slow.

Based on the variety of weight calculators and doctor consultations that I've had, that looks shockingly accurate, at least for me.Originally posted by happyone View PostAwesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.Comment

Well that sounds a little better, because I am up to 1,038 calories and I have only had breakfast and a morning snack and it is not even 10 yet.Originally posted by happyone View PostComment

times the current weight or goal weight?Originally posted by happyone View PostWhat's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

wouldn't it be the current weight?Originally posted by BigPiney View Post
I thought the question was "how much do you need to maintain where you are at now?"Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

This is pretty accurate in my opinion. I think you have to be really active to take in 3600 calories and maintain your weight. Most of us who work out would probably be best served following the X15 formula.Originally posted by happyone View PostComment

When I was in college and very active (working out 3-4 hours a day), I kept track of my calories for a week for someones nutrition class. This was while living in the dorms. Turns out I was taking in about 6000-7000 calories a day. Those darn soda machines and that chocolate milk with get you every time. No wonder people get the Freshman 15. I didn't gain anything except maybe a few pounds of muscle. Heaven knows I could use it.Originally posted by SteelBlue View PostComment

Ah,yes, I remember those days. Reminds me of a Sunday School class in which the question came up: What "age" will our resurrected bodies be? I said I hoped I would have the "twenty-something" body I had about 1 year before my metabolism started to change.Originally posted by BigPiney View Post“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
