With the new MD i bought ( march issue ) i got this little booklet with some supp company promotions in it. Nevermind that, what i thought was interesting is stumbling upon the BMR= base metabolic rate and what it is, i knew what it was prior to seeing it but i have never seen how u can calculate it
BMR=66+ (6.23xweight in pounds)+(12.7x height in inches)-(6.8xage in year)
This would be ur metabolic rate
So filled my in
BMR=66+ (6.23xweight in pounds)+(12.7x height in inches)-(6.8xage in year)
PV's BMR= 66+( 6.23x275)+(12.7x71)( im 6'1", hope its correct)-( 6.8x21yo)=
A whopping 2563.35 kcals...
Also they say ur ratios of food no matter what ur goal is must be
40% carbs
40% protein
20% fat
so...it would be for me( in grams)
256,25 protein
same for carbs
57 fat
It also says...if u wanna gain weight, throw an extra 500kcals a day which would equal 3500 kcals a week which is a pund, same goes for losing weight, so u substract 500..
Now my question is...
I wanna lose some of my bf...which would mean i have to eat accroding to this2563-500=2063 kcals a day..
Isnt that too low for me? i train at least 4-5 times a week..woldnt this make me lose muscle?
Hope to get some good responds
