It’s fine to keep it constant and much easier to implement. What tends to happen is that it’s the day AFTER a very active day that you feel that extra hunger.
You can go ahead and satisfy this hunger as your higher calorie day if you wish. It really won’t make much difference long term.
Let your hunger dictate your eating habits.

You add all the calories up and then divide them so I would need to take in 20719.92 kcals all week and divided by 7=2959.98 kcals to maintain my weight. Is it right to have the same amount each day or is it better to have different totals for each day depending on what your doing in regards to work and exercise?

Suppose my total comes to 3000 calories and I am on the MANS diet…does that mean I should be taking 3000 calories on the MANS diet, or something like 3300?

Also, what is the fat, protein, carb ratio for the MANS diet

Please! Why are you all so jealous of people in this country? And why do you blame the US for your struggles? It drives me nuts when I hear this type of whining.
In all actuality, you are trying to rip the US off because you hate us. Everyday people are just like you and we are not as RICH as you all act. Get over it!

I haven’t lifted seriously since HS so I am taking it from the beginning.

Ideally I would like to make the best muscle gains while shedding the fat. I would rather get stronger than focus entirely on fat loss. The loss will come as I get stronger and develop more LBM, I would think. I also want to be realistic and not undereat. Lately I have been feeling tired in the afternoons with a headache. I am starting to think that I am getting too few calories — hence the query.

Therefore:

370 + (21.6 x 89.1) = 2,294.4

I have a light desk job:

2,294.4 * 1.5 = 3,441.5

I workout heavy 3x a week and do HIIT cardio for 30 minutes after lifting session for about 500 cal each day.

(3,441.5 + 500) * 3 = 11,824.6

and

3,441.5 * 4 = 13,766

Therefore:

(11,824.6 + 13,766) / 7 = 3,655.8

I am approximately 28.3% body fat.

So you are saying I should eat that many calories for what I am doing? I should eat a little less if I want to lose fat — say 3,200 kcal?

Is that right? Seems way too high to me. Right now I am on about 2,000 kcal/day.

I started the MANS diet. I have a few concerns. I already have body fat. I am using your anabolic workout plan to cut down the fat and replace it with muscle. On a lowcarb diet, I usually lose weight and I feel as if I am going to do the same with this one. My main goal is to burn the fat, and replace it with muscle. Am I on the right track with this? I probably ingest up 10 1500-2000 calories a day. Can you shed some light on this?

People overestimate the role of exercise in weight loss because they don’t realize that the vast majority of energy expenditure goes into just keeping them alive.
Cardio is useful though for cutting to very low body fat percentages and weight-training should never be skipped.
No general formula can be 100% accurate for the individual, but Katch-McArdle is as good as it gets IMHO. As long as your input figures are accurate, the output will be.

It’s me again! I just read this post the first time (really didn’t find it neccesarry since I love following my MANS lifestyle). Great article but I have one question. Is that RMR formula accurate? I just punched in my values in the calculator and it tells me I burn 1980 calories while resting! I weigh 85kg with ~15% bodyfat. Can this be accurate? If so, I guess I’ll be sleeping for the next couple of days^^
Alright, see you!

Well it’s a good idea to use the formula to make sure you’re hitting your minimum requirement but it’s really easy to do with MANS. Remember just 100ml of heavy cream gives almost 500 calories, it shouldn’t be an issue getting enough calories to bulk on MANS.
@ Andrics. I got mine at UK Amazon.

So how about for the MANS diet? Same goes? like 300-500 extra calories or is it a differente method of calculating how much I need to put on some muscle?
Great post!
