here is some info that will help you calculate what you need for a caloric deficit diet:
you need to know your bodyfat % first then you can calculate how many calories you need to consume for a cutting diet...that will give you your Lean Body Mass...
this is from Chris Aceto's book:
example for calculating Basal Metabolism...
to calculate your Basal Metabolism, you need your Lean Body Mass & add a zero ('0') to the end...
*Example: 127lbs of LBM = 1270 calories
Basal Metabolism (BM): 1270 calories daily
Next, add to the BM more calories based on your level of activity & lifestyle.
*For the Extremely Active: BM x 1 + BM
*For Very Active: BM x .7 + BM
*For Moderately Active: BM x .4 + BM
*For Non Active: BM x .2 + BM
Therefore the individual who is extremely active & has a BM of 1270 will need 2540 calories in a day.
(1270 x 1 + 1270 = 2540)
An active, moderately active & non active individual with a BM of 1270 will need 2159 calories, 1778 calories & 1524 calories each day, respectively.
To establish your level of activity, use this below:
*Extremely Active: Work a physical job, construction, mail carrier, builder, landscaper & work out 5 or more x's each wk.
*Very Active: Either work a physical job & exercise 3x's a wk or work a desk hob & workout hard 5x's a wk.
*Moderately Active: Desk job & work out 3-4x's a wk or a physical job & do no exercise.
*Non Active: Neither exercises nor works a physical job.
