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

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** · 11-28-2005, 01:32 AM

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

***Giantz11*** · 11-28-2005, 08:24 AM

Try around 15-16 cals per pound.

**jsimon** · 11-28-2005, 10:28 AM

so im around 3300 for maintence then?

***Giantz11*** · 11-28-2005, 10:35 AM

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

**jsimon** · 11-28-2005, 10:48 AM

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

**kaptainkeezy04** · 11-28-2005, 04:00 PM

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
