Bulking or Cutting? Or maintenance ? how many WO a week?

 

[Mr.X]

Bulking or Cutting? Or maintenance ? how many WO a week?

Cutting WO are limited due to recent surgery - about 3-4 per week, I do HIT training low-volume heavy weight.

Mr.X

 

[junk]

Gee I wish I could have cut with 2700 cals. seems plenty.. but you're a big guy....

 

[Deleted member 33117]

I'm cutting slowly on about 3000 right now.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Old thread, but that's a lot of calories for those guys bulking. 5'11" 180 lbs. now, planning on taking in 3200 or so to bulk.

 

[juve]

I can easily maintain on 3-3.3k cals; I have horrors envisioning my bulking diet

 

[Tom Treutlein]

You're not going anywhere right now, Juve? What're your stats like?

 

[juve]

You're not going anywhere right now, Juve? What're your stats like?

5'8" around 172lbs (fluctuating day to day) rather lean (5-8%bf).
It's not the stats that determine energy requirements, it's the level of activity - energy expenditure. Quite a simple concept, eh? energy exertion=energy intake (kinda like supply and demand)

 

[bran987]

2,000-2,500 for me

 

[bigdho]

Im 6'4 265 14% bf and have been on this diet for a while is been good:

[psychedout]

About 2000 cals a day. Cutting though.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Juve, I get the concept. Stats matter somewhat, considering you can use your bodyweight multiplied by 12 (number varies) to determine your BMR, then from there determine the other factors.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Bigdho - that is a SICK amount of calories and protein. I don't think you need all that excess, man...

I know it looks like alot but it lakes alot to maintain my weight and activity level. I have progressively uped everything till I started gainning weight then I level off till I stop gainning then I will up it agian. I will either grow or blow up. My goal is to get my lean weight to 260 so I have another 34 lbs of mass to go.

 

[Lao Tzu]

i cut on 2700-3000, maintenance is about 4000

i put on close to 30 lbs in half that amount of time when i did my first cycle, and i was only eating 6-7 times daily, and definately not that many calories. I had 300 grams of protein daily at least. I'm 6'3".

 

[John WB]

Usually mine are between 2000-3000. I got over 3000 for the first time yesterday. I usually don't enough carbs in. My protein is usually high and fat just right. I'm bulking.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

I'm hitting 3650 a day now, or more. The only problem is when I sleep late (until 11:00 AM) and end up having to cram in 4 big meals by 3:00 PM (work at 4:00). Uch!

 

[SoreArms]

holy old thread bumping Batman.

 

[Casull]

5'8" around 180 off cycle, 190 while on. Try to stay about 5% BF. Maintenance =2500 cal.

 

[chewyxrage]

shoulda made a category for under 2000 because many people are under that.....


personally I voted 3000 and over but i'm cutting now and I average about 2800 cals a day
