Calorie intake

[NJRipped]

Well, look at it this way: Your overall metabolic rate may be lower but because you are consuming quality foods (as opposed to processed junk) your are able to consume a higher quantity of foods since quality foods are much less calorie intensive. Although my overall metabolic rate is low (2300 cal), I am never hungry eating the foods I consume.

I to am like you njripped, but i do not think that it worked to my advantage. I think that i seriously slowed my metabolism due to my dedication to not cheat, and always hold a perfect diet. Does anyone else feel like this?

you guys that claim 4,000+ calories, will you post your stats and diets? I have a hard time believing one needs this many cals.........I'm on a pure bulking scheme and I probably am only taking in 3,800 -

I never ever cheat since I dont have cravings for bad foods. But I can probably take in 4000-5000 cals easy if I didnt watch how much I ate. And Im only 5 8, 150lbs...

You're making a mistake by determining what your diet should be based upon unknown people refusing to post current pics on internet chat boards. How can you believe people who make claims that they can consume calories far beyond what experts in the field of nutrition have determined?

Why not just start at about 3500 calories and keep track of your BF levels. If you gain too much then cut down and if not very much then slightly increase.

I'm not determining shit man..........I want to see the calcualtion done on a 5,000 diet........it's sort of like people saying they are 9%bf when really they are 15% cause they have no idea how to estimate............

They'll never substantiate it. They'd sooner be able to show they were an internet billionaire. lol

I put 1800-2300. Currently cutting my fat ass (hopefully) to shreds in a few months. Usually get about 200g of protein, 30g carbs, 70g fat, 1500cal, which is temporary. I'm starting to throw in PW carbs and protein to put the total at 1800-2300.
