Calories ????

[skyhuck]

I'm 4000 to 5000 kcal a day usually. Only 2500 kcal so far today, though I haven't done that much. I have a high base metabolic rate (results in excessive heat production when physically active) and I'm tall and relatively heavy (6ft 8" and 100kg).

 

I'd say you'd need more than 2600kcal, but everyone is different.

How do you know? have you done tests?

 

Its funny how lots of fat people claim its down to "slow metabolism", but test have shown the fat actually have the fastest metabolisms.

Forget guidelines and all that rubbish....if you are putting on weight and you feel it's a problem, do more to burn it off or cut down on eating, and vice versa.

 

One thing I do believe though is that a lot of overweight/ fat people are actually malnourished. They eat poor quality food, and their body is telling them to eat more, as in 'I need more nutrients/minerals/vitamins......' Etc etc. and before you start, I'm too heavy as well, but I eat good quality food...........................

Here's one for ya! (Whitesnake live in the heart of the city) sorry off on one then :-))

 

 

Ah.... Someone else who remembers Whitesnake when they were a proper band!

 

"I've spent close on sixteen years

Watching your pretty flower grow

Little girl, little girl, now tell me

Everything you know

About the oceans and the skies,

The mountains and the trees,

And then I'm tell you about

The birds and the honey bees

 

'Cos I'm a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,"

 

(Love man by Whitesnake)

 

Not sure that sounds too clever nowadays!
