thats probably true but 10 x fatass is the break even point, you wouldnt gain any weight at that

if u did 10 x fatass and then subtract 500 per day (3500 a week) you would lose weight

IOW if a 300 pound dude eats 2500 calories a day, he should lose a pound a week because he will be shorting himself 3500 a week from the break even point.

3500 = 1 pound

maths

Good job bud.

can we play nude flash cards again?

its because of that fat ass ratio I’m Not tracking everything l eat. That will come later. I know I’m putting the right stuff in my body. I’m up to walking 4.5 miles now. 34lbs lost in 7 weeks since l decided to try my best.

I'm 6'1 200 and maintain at 1800-2000 calories. IDK where you got 3000 from.

Edit: and its really hard to eat 2000 calories unless you force feed yourself when you only eat stuff you cook yourself.

not sure if youre talkign to me but

200 x 10 = 2000 which is what i said was maintenance

read my post one more time

if you were 300 pounds and wanted to 'maintain' and not lose (or gain any more) weight then you would eat 3000 (break even point)

if you were 300 pounds, and you ate 2500 calories...you would lose weight every week...until u hit about 250 pounds ..

so as you lose weight, youve got to scale it back...when youre 250 pounds, 2500 = maintenance

in your case ...youre 200 pounds so 2000 = maintenance


again, maths...

its not hard to eat 2000 calories if you eat crappy food, or drink soda or beer

one pint of beer is 300 calories ...

a six pack of good IPA (12 oz bottles) is like 1500 calories

if you cook pasta yourself or even rice, or high fat items like sausage / bacon...thats also heavy calories

I was talking to the guy who said 15 calories per pound was maintenance.

Yeah, thats WAY too much unless maybe youre doing some serious athletics

For a 200 pound guy, whose normal maintenance is 2000 calories...

That extra 1000 calories a day would be a gain of 2 pounds a week....unless he was burning 1000 calories a day by doing hours of exercises per day

Chocolate chip ice cream...with mini Reeses peanut buttercups

Those are my favorite calories. I also use real butter, cream and whole milk. I like the dairy fat, I don't like how round I'm getting. Butter is not going anywhere, maybe changing to lower fat milk *shudder*...

If you're trying to cut some calories but still enjoy drinking soda, I'd recommend giving Coke Zero a go. Even if you might have tried it in the past and it wasn't your favorite thing. New formula and ads and all that good shit, but it actually tastes good. No it's not the real thing, but it's pretty close and leaps and bounds better than plain ol' Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.

I take inspiration from anorexic women. If I'm getting fat, I just stop eating food. Usually after two days I've lost 5 - 7 pounds. Follow that up the next week and after a month you can get back to your fighting weight. I stay in shape by running \ mild lifting during the summer. Winter time is a ****ing show though.

Get this man to Arbys!

You're exaggerating the beer calories a little bit. A lite beer is roughly 103 calories. But good beer like an IPA you mentioned is much closer to 200 than 300 cals.

A few examples:

60 minute IPA: 209 cals
Lagunitas IPA: 180 cals
Sierra Nevada: 200 cals

Now imperial stouts are in the 300 calories range. Typically the higher the ABV, the higher the calorie total for beer.
