Hey everyone,
It has been a while since I've posted a topic and seeing as how a lot of great info is readily available from questions from other members, there isn't really much to ask.
However, I do have a question that I really have not come across in the millions of postings - calorie calculator!
After a terrible leg accident that broke both my lower leg bones on my left leg (tibia and fibula) and 7 months later, I have finally started to weight train again. Attempting to lose the fat I've gained in those 7 months and start to look lean will be a challenge but I welcome it.
Only issue I have now is, how do I measure the amount of calories I consume (also including the breakdown in carbs, proteins and fats) in order to help me lose my weight.
As a 29 year old weighing about 218lbs and standing 6'0, I read on some other sites that my "ideal" calories to maintain my current state is 3300, to lose 1-2 pounds a week is about 2500. But then there are other sites that say 2700 to lose 1-2 pounds. Here on free trainers, my nutritional plan says I need to consume 3300 calories to reach the goal of losing fat and toning. Then this would counteract the 3300 other sites are saying is to "maintain my current weight". This has become so confusing!
Hope all you guys can either direct me to some helpful articles, posts or even educate me on how to calculate calories for appropriate weight loss, hopefully including a breakdown of where these calories should come from.
Thanks all!
