i used the one in the bulk diet threat up above. It cant be right I typed in my stats and it said my mainetence level is 2100 calories. That doesnt seem right?? im 6'2 around 208lb

[kaptainkeezy04]

maybe if you were in a coma you would maintain that weight while eating 2100 cals....i think to maintain your weight you would need 2800.

[chest6]

is there any sort of formula for maintainance calories? Mines prolly like 3200 or so Im guessing just wanna make sure

[Giantz11]

Try around 15-16 cals per pound.

[jsimon]

so im around 3300 for maintence then?

[Giantz11]

I'd be willing to guess around there, yes.

[jsimon]

so I need around 3800 calories a day when bulking? Its 500 extra?

[kaptainkeezy04]

i think ive actually read its 14 calories for maintainence...dont mean to undermine you giantz lol...just what i have read in some book...i think it was that NO2 book...oh but how bout that kicker for the giants? man he is awesome

Yes, 500 extra calories would be a start. Monitor your stats/appearance and make any changes needed as you go.

Just download the xml spreadsheet. It does the math for you after you type in your age, weight and height
