I've just started my new job

[xtralean]

Im 3 weeks out.

Job: Painting and decorating
Time: 7 hours + 30min liss to the job and back

How many calories would I burn?? My metabolism is v.fast, my bodyweight 160lbs

I read somewhere I would burn approx 2000 calories LOL just from painting all day!! I'm only taking in 2000 per day and also 2x HIIT & 3/4 gym sessions!

SO i could be burning like 3000 calories and taking in 2000 :S??? that is sounds like an epic way of turning my into a stick


What the hell shall I do? I need to "hold" onto what I got and not loose any lbs really..could do with shedding that last bit of fat but im doing that through HIIT for the "shredded" look!!

Should I look at ^^ carbs and calories or just more refeeds per wk???????

HELP!

It's almost impossible to accurately estimate how many calories you will burn doing that. If this will be a dramatic increase in activity level from what you are used to, I'd suggest giving yourself a modest caloric increase - perhaps 400-500 - and then continue tracking your weight vs. calories for a week or so. If you find you are losing too fast, add more calories, and continue this cycle until your weight stabilizes, or the desired weight loss is achieved. I can guarantee that if you took a large figure, IE 2000 calories, and threw that in right from the get-go, you would probably not be happy with the consequences.
