How do you figure out how many calories eat to lose weight or gain weight?
Step 1: go to https://t.co/mG1D6dc1Nn and type in your info to get your maintenance calories
(this is the amount of calories you need to eat to stay the same weight.)
Step 2: Determine fat loss or lean bulk calories
Fat loss = subtract 25% from your maintenance calories and eat that amount daily +1 g of protein per pound you weigh
Lean Bulk = add 7-10% to your maintenance calories and eat that amount daily + 1 g of protein per pound you weigh
