Calorie Intake

[KILLER2001]

Obviously to burn fat and cut up a person needs to take in less calories than he uses in the course of the day. I am 207 pounds but i am having a little trouble figuring out appox. how many calories a day a should eat. My bf is around 11-12% . I like to stay around 100g carbs, 350g pro.,50g of fat. Does this seem about right to you guys.Its about 2250 cals, daily.Does this seem a little to high for cutting.I live a pretty active lifestyle, but i am not no marathon runner eighter if you know what i mean.

sorry for the silly question, but how could you want to lose weight if you weigh so much at only 11% bodyfat?

Here is a helpful little tool to help you determine your calorie maintenance level. It is an estimate, but the feedback I get is that it is pretty accurate (esp compared to other online calcs). Here: http://www.nutri-tracker.com/calorie2.htm

I lift 5-6 days a week and I do 45-60mins of cardio 6 days a week. Sometimes 7 if I feel like it, I hate not doing something active each day. I swear on this diet im losing a ton of BODYFAT and feel good, I think with your diet the lack of energy foods, Carbs or Fats u will be Pooped.
