i have just worked out my daily calorie needs using the harris benedict formula. my final total was 2795 but what it did not take into account is my body fat which is 20%. i am trying to go for a clean bulk, then cut up in spring. is it possible to eat this many calories and not put on fat, my answer is no because for the last few years my daily intake has been around 2000 cals and training 3 times a week, i still have 20% b/f so how can eating more not put on any b/f, if you understand what i am trying to say??????
anyway here are my stats
age 27
178cm
92 kilos
20%b/f
Harris Benedict Formula for Men
BMR = 66 + (13.7 X weight in kilos) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
66 + 1260.4 + 890 - 183.6 = 2032.80 cals
- If you are Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.375 = 2032.80 X 1.375 = 2795.1 cals per day
