How do I calculate calories??

[PatBateman3]

I did a search and there were a lot of different theories. I like BigAndy's. I am 183 and about 18%bf. So for me it would be:

(183 x .82 x 10) + (183 x 2.5) = ~1960

So I take it from that I would have to eat 500 less per day?? But what if I also burn 500 through exercise each day??

Get your body mass ratio (BMR) here :

then put this into the TDEE Calculator (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)here:

The above TDEE Calculator takes into factor your daily routines so if you are excercising 1-3 times per week lightly and you chose that then you would minus the 500 cal's off what the TDEE Calculators # to lose weight.

Also take note its just as easy as knocking 500 cals off per day you should follow a ratio for your calories like 40% carbs, 40% protien, 20% fat etc ...
