LBM * 18 or Bodyweight * 18? MR. X

[markus18]

Hi,

I'm getting my diet in order to begin my first cycle of anabolics.

Mr. X recommended :

Weight * 18 = Daily Calories Consumed

50%P, 30%C, 20%F

** Is it overall bodyweight * 18 or :

lean body weight minus the body fat * 18?

1) (140lbs 6%bf) = 140lbs * 18 = 2520 cals

2) (140lbs 6%bf, 131.6lbs LBM) = 131.6lbs LBM * 18 = 2369 cals

Which one is correct?

140lbs and thinking about anabolics?

At 140 lbs. you really don't need anything other than food and a good training program to build a solid base. Most people recommend bodyweight x 25 for natural ectomorphs such as yourself. 2500 calories on a bulking diet might not be enough.

Others beat me too it, but I will say it again. Food is the most anabolic substance around.
