im new and have a question

kaiatherton Posts: 9 Joined: 2005/01/07	2005/01/07, 03:51 PM having just looked at my nutritional plan it says that i should have 4925 calorie intake a day. Now i do want to get bigger, but im worried that is maybe to excessive. especially considering my exercise plan is having me do only to exercises on some days. I am also doing the 12 week ab workout. im i right in thinking that once ive gained the extra weight (muscle i hope) that afterwood i should reduce the calories and do more cardio to burn off the excess fat. Im new to all this so im just learning how it works. can anyone help me or offer advice. has anyone else done the same plan?? what were your results?? Im going to follow the plan as im confident it will work, but i was just wanting to hear what happend with other guys who have tried it. my stats are male, 6ft currently 197lbs(not muscle) waist size 36. Im 29 years old.

Do some searches on fitbuddy on the subject - there are tons of posts dealing with the subject. Good Luck -------------- Every man hears only what he understands -Goethe

Your caloric intake will mostly hinge on how many calories you have previously been ingesting on average. Then you can calculate up or down for your goals. -------------- "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Marcel Proust
