I have a question..
I'm 20 years old, 5'8" and I weight around 210 pounds. I'm trying to lose weight and my level of activity is 1.4. I pretty much sit around all day until I go play ball for an average of 3 hours a day, full court games, and I workout after for an average of 2 hours. I do this 5-6 days a week. My percentage is default: 60/35/5. My BMR is 2099, BMR+Activity is 2939, and Target BMR with diet is 2350.
So to maintain my weight without diet or exercise I have to eat 2099 calories or I will lose or gain weight? While if I exercise and workout I have to eat 2930, but if I want to lose weight while doing that I have to eat 2350? I don't really under stand how it works. And currently I'm eating a low carb diet of proteins, legumes, and veggies and only 1500 calories a day. I went from 245 to 210, but I haven't been losing any wait for the past month basically.Last edited by Mystiqueskillz; 09-16-2008 at 02:18 PM.

They've only recently realised that there is a big difference between relatively inactive (let's say a housewife puttering around the kitchen while doing a little housework and watching tv) and sitting down on your bum for long periods. The bum sitting is now considered to be a risk factor for heart disease the same as things like smoking. And it also really reduces your BMR.
If you have a desk job, you need to reduce the usual estimate of calorie requirements. Unless you make a huge effort to be extremely active for all your non-work hours, you can dial back on the cals without doing yourself any harm.
A good way to get an estimate is to just eat to hunger. Eat when you are hungry, do not eat when you are not. You should find the level of food that will allow you to function. That's your real maintenance.65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs = keto.

Pretty much right now, all summer, I've been at home just relaxing and doing whatever. Not that active throughout the day until I go play ball around 6 and then workout around 9 to about 11.
Starting next Wednesday I start college again and my schedule is from 9 to 3 everyday. And pretty much the only physical thing I will be doing is walking from class to class. I think I will probably eat around 1600 calories to be on the safe side. When I start school I hoping to stick with my weekly basketball and workouts, but I might cut back on the ball due to homework, but i will still try to workout 5-6 days a week. I also started doing cardio this week.

IDK what's going on. I followed the zip file...filled in 1-8 and I can't find any way to calculate. Is the file corrupted? What about a manual way to calculate? Thanks OP, excellent info. I'm starting KETO tomorrow.

Glad you mentioned this because I was thinking the same thing regarding taking into consideration LBM.
