this right?
Athletes should increase their total caloric intake by 250-500 calories per day to gain weight.
and this?
Athletes should decrease their total caloric intake by 500 calories per day to lose 1 pound in 1 week.
how do i know what my metabolic rate is when i'm working out?
First you need to calculate your Basil (baseline) metabolic Rate. Which I think you have the calculator above for that. I generally us that because for most of the day you are "at rest," or basically not exercising.Quote:

And figure out how much you burned that day. There are all kinds of helpful calculations out there to take your BMR and TDEE and combine them to formulate a weekly calorie guide.
I generally think they less complexity you put into the better at retention one will be though.
Hope that helps
I've got a high affinity for details and can get fixated on them. i usually feel most comfortable about an undertaking if i know everything about it. -what can i say? i was raised by a woman.
you've probably already seen this thing, but it's what i'm using day to day. it's got a filter drop down to so i can look at only one kind of option, like carbs if i want to. it's not a flawless presentation and that's why it's really just for me.
