trial and error bro! I'd say harris-benedict but that is a wild guess basically, and it should not be used in a serious circumstance like a competition! If you are advanced enough to be competing you should at least know by now how many calories you need to eat to maintain!

Yeah, I'm trippin' too........I mean, how did you get to where you are (close to a show and such) but not know about your kcals? If anyone knows what you need/don't need at this point, that would be you bro. At 160, do you really have more to lose? What class are you going for?
