how many calroies should i eat?

junkey17

I am currently 270 with a bmi of over 30..

My plan is to do a 5 day split with 1 to 2 compound exercises each day folowing a 5x5 type workout and to run 20 min (11 min mile) 3 days and walk 60 min (15 min mile) 3 days a week.

HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD I EAT? i want to lose fat, a little weight and put on some muscle!

I know there is no easy way to determine how many calories, just need a push in the right direction.

By looking around on the web it says approximately 4,000? The problen i have is A) most of these guy are already build and the example they use is for a 170ib guy tying to get big.

I feel thats like me saying i going to swim every day, so ill eat 10,000 calories like Michael Phelps does! (yes he does eat 10,000 calories)

Thank you for any help given.....

Are you using MFP to track calories, exercise, and weight loss goals? If not, you should be.
