Hello there people that i don't know yet

I am a 24 yr old male that is 6' and 220 lbs(not as lean as i would like) and to tone up and lose weight i'm supposed to take in over 3400 calories a day....i didn't know how effective that would be maybe somebody could explain this to me :surprised:

Look at an area of more like 12 - 15 calories per pound depending what you want to do.

Take the calories suggested to lose weight and give it a couple weeks, if you don't see results just simply lower that amount by an additional 250 calories and wait again and see if that is working. You will have to find your personal needs and the suggested calories are a very good baseline, if as carivan said, they are from proper sources (like here on FT!). Workout and watch what you eat and you will be able to attain your goals! Good luck to you! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
