Daily Caloric Intake

[Gordon Gekko]

Here are some sites that are helpful if u want to know what your daily caloric intake should be to maintain your weight. Its based on your sex, age, height, weight and activity level. Some of them even tell you how many calories you need to cut in order to lose weight.

I don't about that second link. It says I need between 2,000-2,300 calories a day to gain, where as my nutritionist said it's more like 3,000 a day. That's a pretty big difference. Meh.

Yeah, thats why I posted multiple links cus some might not be as accurate as others.

Without going to a specialist you are not going to get exact numbers. Use the links as a guide and mess around with them changing #'s here and there and you can get a close diet plan. Mine to lose 3 LBS a week is 2370 Calories a day with 330 Carbs , 90 Protein , and 80 Fat Grams. I mixed and matched from the links and this was pretty close.
