I've learned the calorie formula recently. For men, body wieght x 10 - 15 = caloric intake. The 10 - 15 varies for physical exertion (how much you exercise).
example: me 250 x 13 (I workout 3 times a week, fairly intense) = 3250 calories/ day that is a lot to choke down, but when you consider that one of my favorite thing food-wise is to eat an 8 piece box of Bojangles fried chicken with two buiscuits and that can hit 3k easy. Hell, the two piece box with fries, buscuit, and sweet tea can run 1600. But oh God, it's sooooo good.
Anyway, I have to consume 3,250 calories daily to keep a wieght of 250 lbs. So if I have an ideal wieght, say 200 lbs. I must consume no more than (200 x 13 = )2600 calories a day. Eating normally (out) can make that difficult. The best idea is to workout more and increase you metabolic rate say 200 x 15 = 3000. Let's just say I just exercise more, 3250 / 15 = 216. An athletic 216 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I think I'd like to eventually be around 180. To reach this goal, I'll need to take in between 2160 - 2700 depending on the intensity of my activity.
