So I went on thedailyplate.com to calculate (for the fun of it, b/c I've been doing alright so far) how many calories I would need to eat to lose 2 pounds per week, 1.5 pounds per week, etc etc...
I'm SHOCKED.
At 6'1", and my current weight of 258, at SEDENTARY (and I move a LITTLE at my job, jeesh) it tells me that
To Lose 2 pounds/week: 2,033 calories/day
To lose 1.5 lbs/week: 2,283 cals/day
but the SHOCKER???
I typed in my ultimate goal weight (199 lbs) to see what I would have to eat to MAINTAIN... and it told me... ready?
2,575 CALORIES PER DAY???
That's a lot... even for ME who is a big eater!!! (I mean, heck, that's awesome if it's TRUE... but I don't know... eat more calories at MAINTENANCE than I'm eating NOW at 258 pounds???)
Just wondering if anyone else (perferably as tall as I am) is maintaining on more calories than they ate at their big weights... it just seems crazy...
I mean, 2,575 with a SEDENTARY lifestyle? no way...
