male only how many calories for men

[get fit 0]

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.

Not so sure about the 'steady' part, but my calories

are around 1500 a day.

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.
