Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I've been tinkering with my daily caloric intake, and I'm wondering if there is a more scientific way to calculate my "ideal" caloric intake for CRONING purposes. Ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's mathematical formulas, but you could try it this way: Get your minimum daily carbohydrates for your brain (110 grams), get your daily protein requirement for your organs and muscles (0.65 grams/lb) and get your daily EFA's (2:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3) and then get at least the RDA's by eating nutritionally-dense food. Assuming no intentionally planned exercise, your consumption should naturally be around 1500 calories over time -- a few hundred more if you're carrying a lot of fat or muscle. The more nutrition you take in, the less you'll feel the need to eat. Logan __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
