It depends on whether I want to lose, gain or maintain.
Currently trying to maintain at about 2900 but probably that's still a small surplus (195 lbs, 5'11'')
If I don't watch my intake I'll end up at 3500 or soThe first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

Both sound like what I was thinking
These pro bodybuilders who claim 6-10k a day..
Is that real?

But 6-10K sounds like an exaggeration.
Big Ramy is the biggest one out there right now and he eats about 4000 a day IIRCThe first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

Sounds realistic, I was able to get a coach I’m guessing my plan will be within these areas

I average soemwhere around 3k a day. But it fluctuates quite a bit on the day. But probably mainly between 2800-3200ish.

around 1800 since i'm nearly at the end of my cut and a small-ish guy in general. when i was at the peak of my bulk (35 pounds heavier), i was eating 3500+ calories per day and barely gained weight. some days eating felt like a chore - and i'm someone who loves food...

I actually don't track but Ik where I'm at within 1-200 cals from years of extremely obsessive tracking. It definitely varies by the day, but generally, I'm in between 3.5k on the low end & 4k on the high end. I'm surprised how low some of the numbers are ITT.

2100-2300/day. I sometimes throw in a 4000 day each week for fun. I'm 5'4'' so I don't really need much calories

I'm bulking now and aiming for 4k a day, although some days I fail to break 3,800.
When cutting I think I go down to around 2,500 - 2,800.

it will depend on a persons weight, muscle mass, activity level and metabolism, so you cant really compare one person to another

My maintenance is usually around 2800 calories. I started bulking in February at around 3050 calories, which seems to have slowly become my new maintenance, so I now need around 3300 to gain slowly.
I tend to start cutting at around 2300 and eventually go down to 2000.

I'm not actively tracking right now, but somewhere in the 3500 +/- range.

All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.
Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.

i assume OP's initial question was out of curiosity, but now i'm not sure if he really thinks he can pick an arbitrary calorie number that makes him lose fat and gain muscle at the same time...

I had the most success with 2700-3000 for sustained weight loss last year. I typically aim for that as it's not especially difficult over long periods of time and yields consistent results.
If I'm not deliberately losing weight, I don't even track it carefully enough to say, but its got to be close to 4000 based upon how my weight increases. My maintenance is about 3500 without added activity.Bench: 320
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 505

Yeah I mean given his size, he'd be better off just losing fat in a deficit... recomping when you're obese is just dumb.Originally Posted by faithbrah
