Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I seem to remember reading in a few posts about a general rule of thumb that if one wants to lean down a good starting point would be about 10-12 calories per body pound. What is the general rule of thumb for the amount of calories per body pound to maintain weight? How many cals per body pound to bulk? I know everyone is different, but I am asking for general starting points. Obviously you would have to change the amounts depending if you are stalling out when leaning or adding excessive amounts of fat when bulking.
Number of calories per pound to lean, bulk, and maintain weight
- Thread starter bigazn
- Start date
I would say 12 - 15 for maintenance, and 18 - 20x (or up to 25x) to bulk
