For years i have eaten too few calories, not by choice, but i’m working on eating healthier now. Hopefully someday i will be able to use this calculator. Thanks for making it available, and good luck with all your hard work.

@Neal @Ikram. On non-training days obviously you will need less Calories because there is no energy being burned from a workout. To be on the safe side, you could shave 100 Cals off. On a 5-day split I simply let my hunger dictate my eating amounts and times at the weekend.
@Sean. I’d like to see that myself to see the context but I was probably referring to myself. I can put fat on my gut real easy if I’m not careful, so even 300 Cals is too big for me. Like the Calculator says, use this to get your starting numbers and adjust if necessary.
@Mike. Yes mate, thanks for asking. Much better after my recent disaster. Sorry it’s been so long. Good to know the fans never leave 🙂
@tina. I disagree with that. This is based on weight and body fat %. That’s all that matters. On average women are lighter, but have a higher BF% so this calc takes all of that into account. Women that would put on fat from this calculation are probably in that scenario due to eating very low cals for a very long time.
@ajik. Yes, MANS is high fat. There is room for some excess protein however as it will convert to glucose and be stored as muscle glycogen. So allow yourself some wiggle room.

If my carb intake is limited to 30 grams, and my protein is around 150 grams, the rest of the calories shall be fat indeed? or can I exceed my protein requirement? I use the myfitnesspal app for calorie tracking by the way, though I can’t set it to support my low-carb MANS diet reqts, it’s great anyway. As seasons change I get the flu, dang! just hate it when I can’t get pumping when I’m having colds and fever. >:( Enjoy y’all! 🙂

In a previous article (I tried looking for it) you stated that you have switched your mind from doing the originally suggested 200 – 300 calories over maintenance to doing 100 – 200 calories above maintenance.

Now you are going back to doing 200 – 300 calories over maintenance?

Just would like to know why.

Thanks

Sorry to hear bout’ the hard drive incident. How bout’ non-training days? Would you recommend eating maintenance or still 200-300 above as the calculator says consume…. on training days. Thanks!

Damn shame you lost so much of your work, I hope you managed to recover at least some of it!
A very happy new year to you.
