First Step: Calorie Calculator

Since you have an overview of what the general principles of flexible dieting are, let's start with this link and setup your daily caloric intake.





The idea here is to get a sense of where you will be on a day-to-day basis. We will have to look at how much energy your body uses in order to support it with the needed calories to reach your goal. Enter your age, gender, weight, height, exercise level, and press calculate. Your maintenance and fat loss calories will be calculated. If your goal is to gain weight and eventually muscle, add 250-500 calories and taper up calories depending on how your body responds in three to four weeks time. In the next post, we will be using the macro nutrient calculator to finally find the targets of what you are able to eat every day.
