Lastly, a lot of people ask whether or not you need to cycle calories on training days and rest days. Just something you should be aware of! Calorie Cycling a 200 lb man who is very active will have very different calorie requirements. Your activity level can have you eat a lot or very little also. You see, the more active you are, the more you can eat and still be in a deficit. With all that being said, your activity level will determine how much you can eat. We don’t want to go higher than a 25% caloric deficit because you don’t want to lose weight TOO quickly. 75 is just a method for finding your calorie deficit with less math involved.Ī 25% caloric deficit is enough to produce 1.5-2 pounds off the scale every week, on average. You may be asking why we multiplied it by. Our calorie goal, in this example, is to eat 2150 calories. You just calculated your starting calorie deficit. To find the calories to eat to lose weight:Ģ140 calories to eat per day to lose weight. These are the number of calories I would eat every day if I wanted to MAINTAIN my weight.
Again, read this post to figure out which option best suits you.Choose 16 if you’re very active (Very Active means you workout 3-6 times per week, but you also move around constantly due to work, or other activities other than the gym).If you are lightly active, choose 15 (Lightly Active means you workout 3-5 times per week, but also don’t sit around all day – fits most people).in this formula, it would be someone who only gets activity through the gym and nothing else. Here’s the formula on how I calculated them: If you want to learn more, read this article.įor the purpose of this article, we will use my calories as an example. I have an entire article going more in-depth on calories for losing weight.Whatever number you get, subtract 25% from it and you have found your calorie deficit for losing body fat rapidly (but not too rapidly).You first want to multiply your body weight by 14, 15, or 16 (depending on your activity level throughout the week– example down below).However, if you want to learn how we got those numbers, keep reading below! Step 1: Find Your Weight Loss Calories It has everything set up for you and determines the best macros for you. To find your macros for fat loss, we first must ensure that your calories are set up correctly. And you also want to have enough fat to promote healthy hormonal function (among other things).You also want to have enough carbs to fuel your workouts.You want to have a sufficient protein intake to promote muscle growth or to maintain your muscles.Regardless, your macro “split” is very important when it comes to a balanced diet and what you eat every day. This has always worked best for me and is by far the most enjoyable way to lose fat. I prefer mine to be high protein, high carb, and low fat (the 40/40/20 split works great for this – more info later). Your macronutrients should be set up in a way that promotes fat loss which means keeping protein high and allowing carbs and fat to fluctuate (if you want them to).
