Your maintanence calorie level should be fine.

? Not Sure What You Mean Bro...

**LAGMuXle** · 03-06-2006, 08:38 AM

You are 6'1" 175lbs and how old?

**LAGMuXle** · 03-06-2006, 08:40 AM

I would suggest going for your maintanence calorie level.

For example, if you are 6'1" 175lbs and 45 years old, moderately active, your maintenance calorie intake would be apprximately 2100 cals per day.

Aim for about that to start, then go from there.

thats without the daily activity, it is probably more around 2800-3000 when physical activity is factored in..

Yes, note the moderately active - this would include sitting in a rocking chair, doing the dishes, or cleaning your car.

Up your cals along with your activity levels of course.

**JR.SHRED** · 03-06-2006, 04:06 PM

Sounds good to me, I would up your cardio to atleast 40 min a time no 20min shit

20 minutes is not short if he's sprinting - most sprinting routines I've read about only last 12-15 minutes. If your lungs aren't blown out and your heart isn't racing after that much sprinting, you're a machine.
