Question about how much to consume.

RichGebs

Here is my question, if I eat 1500 calories for the day, but get 730 calories burnt from basketball practice from 8:30-10pm, should I eat a little more when I get home? Or just leave it as is?

if you know you have practice, then eat more through out the day since you know you will be burning it off later

Eat the 730 calories. If you don't believe why you should, visit this site:

Eat it. 1500 is below the baseline for men. If you eat 1500 and burn 730 that leaves you with a NET of only 770 and that is way too low and very unhealthy (you will lose muscle mass not fat if you do this for too long). If your Daily NET goal is 1500 then eat enough to bring you back to 1500. You actually shouldn't go below 1600.

Try not to go below the 1500 for Men or you risk Starvation Mode.....
