Nick224's Journal, 24 April 2014

I have been back to my heavy weight lifting for about 2 weeks now after having been out for 8 weeks due to breaking my hand. I haven't really seen the scale move since then but... I am seeing drastic changing in the overall tone of my body. I have up'd my calories considerably and my strength has gone back to almost half where I was pre-break. So many rdi calculators (in my opinion) recommend a caloric need that is WAY TO HIGH. This site recommends 3600 rdi for active and like 4700 for very active! That is crazy to me!!! I have started around 2300 calories per day and will move up or down after reviewing my results. I am still keeping my meals clean, not just eating a bunch of junk to get my calories. Overall though, I am feeling better than I have in a long time and I am loving it. UGGGGGGHHHHH it's leg day!!! :(

Really good going-----Broken hand is quite a set back. Don't you just love weight lifting, it makes you feel so good and really improves the body. Interesting that you upped your calories! I agree that the RDI I high. I never believe them----from experience I know I need much less

I am 6'6 275 so i can see how my caloric need might be higher than that of an average size male but upper 4k's is in my opinion meant for mass building... which is not my goal right now.
