Hi. I’m trying to calculate my calorie intake to lose some weight. So I entered my info into 4 calorie counters plus what my Fitbit tells me to consume, and then divided it by 5 as I wanted to get the figure as accurate as possible. The figure from the first 2 calorie counters were very close together (2622 v 2627) but the other 3 varied wildly (2105, 2500 and 2800) so a swing of 695 calories.
I crunched the numbers and it came up with 2530 to keep me at maintenance. Looking at the amount of protein and fat I will need, the combined calories for these will be 1240 just for fat and protein. I’ve calculated (based on the 2530 per day to maintain) that in order to lose 2lbs per week (6000 calories) I will need to be at 1672 calories per day. Do those figures look ok? So if you take the figure of 1240 away from the 1672 that gives me around 400 calories plus however much I burn off at the gym to use pretty much however I like (carbs etc)?
My stats are that I’m male, 34, 5’10 and 165lbs.
