This is the next step - What is your goal? Lose weight??? build muscle??? increase strength, endurance??
If you want to loose (approx one pound per week, you need to take in 500 less calories every day (7X500) = calories in one pound.
If you want to gain, you will need to eat differently and train differently then when cutting.
I would love to do all 3 at the same time.. possible? anything is possible right? so if i went by the lowest number that would put me at about 1200 cals a day- wow.. not much does that account for muscles mass and needing to maintain that? even if i only did the higher number and stuck to 1500 cals a day.. then i would love .5 a pound a week.. 2 months a month.. that would be huge..
So what is your immediate goal? Lets get this party started!!!! :D
