how many calories for men

Hey guys out there how many calories is the best range for steady weight loss. I ve seen it posted on the nutrition section but mostly women were posting their calorie counts but I believe men eat a different amount of calories. I just feel I'm just not eating the right amt of calories.

Well, no guys appear to be answering so i'll pipe up, lol.

As a man, you have more muscle than a woman and are probably generally bigger, so you need to eat more. You really probably dont need to go below 1500 but exactly like a woman, its trial and error. There's a million sources on the internet that will give you a ball park figure, but you need to go by your weight loss and how you feel an adjust accordingly.

Even as a female, but a very active one, I lost all my weight easily on 1500 a day or so, and I maintain on 1800 to 2000, so you probably would be able to do at least the same, if not eating more.

I don't count calories but concentrate on getting my protein and keeping my portions small...it's been working for me, mostly.

I consume about 1,500 a day and am dropping 3 - 5 pounds a week.

It all depends on how active you are as well as your age and weight.

I have a Bodybugg and it makes it a lot easier to know what needs to be done. It tells me how many calories I am burning and I can either work harder or eat less.
