How do you burn more cals than you eat?

**DudeBuilder91** · 04-20-2007, 05:44 PM

Kind of a noob question but im gona start to cut in 1 month. My Question is u guys say that in order to lose fat u need to burn more calories wen u take in right? how is that possible when when ppl run a lot for like 1 hr a day it will only burn like 500-600 cals but u take in much more than that. please explain.

find your TDEE and thats how many calories you burn per day. Just eat less then that.

Your body burns that much by you just being alive, you need to take in that many calories for fat loss if that is the calories it told you. seems low to me

yea my stats are on the left u try it and see if u get the same thing. select the little or no exercise desk job thing because ever since i started bulking i stopped runing my normal 4 times a week because of messed up knees.

edit - my knees should be better by the time for cutting probably guna get surgery

dont you lift?

**stella summers** · 04-20-2007, 05:56 PM

At 6ft and 152 lbs., are you sure you wanna begin cutting? That's very light for someone your height.

**nicksucks** · 04-20-2007, 05:56 PM

wow just excercise as much as u can. for my weight loss i just excercised as long as i could and as much as i could and lost 35 pounds in 4 months. but for cutting u wana stay around 1500-2000 cals per day so no muscle is lost

**Atreyu_Fan** · 04-20-2007, 06:05 PM

dude dont cut till ur at least 180 lbs

**global8936** · 04-20-2007, 06:13 PM

hmm ok it told me 2196 for fat loss. i personally don't keep a calorie count, but how do i keep track of it? like 5 meals a day the calorie count gets complicated!

Cutting at 152lbs at your height isn't a good idea, I am a similar weight and height, and I am already damn skinny

**tomterp** · 04-20-2007, 07:27 PM

**global8936** · 04-20-2007, 07:29 PM

damn man it gave me this:
Total: 2543
Fat: 97 871 35%
Sat: 12 112 4%
Poly: 63 569 23%
Mono: 16 141 6%
Carbs: 281 979 39%
Fiber: 36 0 0%
Protein: 162 647 26%
Alcohol: 0 0 0%
and it was 2 cans of tuna of protein, and wallnuts was the biggest fat contributer, carbs came from bananas. is this ok?

Its your decision, but i would definitely not cut if i were you.. take it from me.. my dumbass when i started rly goin to the gym last yr was like i need to lose all my fat on my body... DUMB, i ended up becoming paranoid bout eating alot, lost mad weight unhealthily... ended up fainting twice in new york city at a rap show and smashin my face on the ground, luckily nothin serious other than a bloody nose.. either way, u seem to know not to cut stupidly, but i ended up a RAIL and barely muscle, yea i had a 6 pack, but after a week i was like **** im a skinny piece of **** while all my buddys were makin gains... BULK YO

id say just lift alot, eat a bit less than u would on a bulk, say like 2-300 over daily intake, ull end up burnin the fat... or just eat like u wud on a bulk and do more cardio...

**Lamba** · 04-24-2007, 10:34 AM

**matthewskyle** · 04-24-2007, 10:37 AM

**Bon** · 04-24-2007, 10:45 AM

It'll take him 2 years to get to your weight (assuming he gets mostly LBM and not all fat)
