Hey there, I am a 26 year old male, standing 183cm and weighing in at a massive 130kgs. I have started trying to create an all round good living plan and this includes a good eating plan. I have started to make a menu and do the calorie counting thing, though I am a beginner and not sure if I'm going about it the right way.
I used this formula that I found on the biggest loser website: (66+(13.7*130)+(5*183)-(6.8*26))-1.55 to arrive at a total of 2584 calories I need to eat each day to maintain weight (I think!).
This is the menu I have set up:
Breakfast -
3 Weet Bix 167
250ml Milk 158
Apple 100
Snack -
Muesli Bar 126
Lunch -
Roll 227
Deli Meat 60
Salad 50
Cheese 50
Pear 100
Snack -
Yoghurt 186
Dinner -
Salad/Veg 200
Meat 400
Snack -
Banana 172
Trying to drink nothing but water, this comes to 1824 calories which if I under stand things correctly should lost me about 600 - 700 grams a week.
Along with 30 mins of walking my dog, 30 mins on an treadmill a day and a weight session 3 times a week.
What I need to know, is my calorie counting and food estimations on track, or have I got the numbers wrong?
