I, too, need help/rec with weight loss.
6 weeks of P90x/Insanity hybrid. 51 yo male, 6'3", 195 lbs. LOST 3 lbs in 6 weeks. BMR 1880. Average daily calorie burn is 515 calories exercising 6days/wk (using HRM and subtracting BMR calories). Average daily caloric intake is 2700 calories. Net calories @ 2200. Eating 5x/day at 300-400 cal/meal. Carb/Protein/Fat ratio…
Harris-Benedict Equation
Based on H-B Equation I should be consuming 2700 cal/day to maintain weight. With exercise this goes up to 3300 cal/day. If I eat 500 calories less/day then in 7-10 days I should be @ 1 lb lighther. So then, why is it not helpful to eat 1500 calories less per day? My exercise routine is P90X/Insanity hybrid. Thanks in…
