what is the formula to calculate how many calories i need to intake in a day? i would like to loose about 30-40 lbs. i lift moderately to heavy depending on how i feel and i play a lot of basketball and run/walk with the gf. just need to find a starting point on the eating right. i already eat 3 small meals with 3 snacks in between. i started off at about 275 and am now down to about 230-235 (fluctuating). i would like to get down to 200-190 and i guess i need to start counting calories and such to get where i want to be as i seem to have plateaued. any help would be great, thanks!

edit: my problem area is my gut. my legs are pretty defined with decent sized calves and what not. i have defined bi\'s/tri\'s and delts are pretty decent as well. It seems as though all my fat stores are primarily in my stomach lol :-\\

Still got alot more work to do but this is how I'm looking right now after picking it back up after a 2 month hiatus (Mini BS bulk). As for work outs, they're random, I dont have a set schedule anymore, I need to make one again tho

Edit: This was around the time I stopped caring; I look better now actually that I look at this pic

and started here (throws up)

I just use this

14-16 cal x weight 1g protein/lb bw, .4g fat/lb
183x4 + 73x9=y (183 body weight) 73(amount of fat)
2562-y=z 2562 is (amount of calorie intake for the day)
z/4=g of carbs

Only reason I did a bulk was cuz I saw I was gaining weight again.
(random thought)
I actually feel like going for a run right now, anyone in the NW down?

ThaJokaa- The first picture you posted is your current picture???
inoneday- I'm still stuck at 23% bf. I feel your pain.

Anyway, I just came in to say that I am still obsessed with Zuzana Light.

I found this picture on her Instagram. Just giving you all some ideas. Shit looks g00d!

htownfister · 07-28-2012, 09:06 PM

Took it pretty light this past month at the gym. Only lifted on days that i went with no cardio. Gained 4-5 lbs. Starting tomorrow i am going "strict" on my diet and and 2 a day workouts. Mornings will be weight/strenght training, and ill go for a run every night. Planning on working up to a 5 mile 40 minute by september or sooner.

ThaJokaa · 07-28-2012, 09:50 PM

Gotta love my flexible diet...
