If you don't know your maintenance
calorie level already, then I recommend using this simple calculation to estimate how many calories you need to build muscle:
Not exact matches
As your exercise
level was
already factored into the equation, there is NO NEED to subtract
calories burned by exercise.
You wan na make sure you've calculated how many
calories you need based on your activity
level and then you wan na do an assessment of what your macronutrient percentages are, whether it's a 20, 15, 60 and then you wan na where your total
calories are at and then just try to tweak it down just a little bit per week and see if that makes a difference as well as you know, the exercise should
already be dialed in, too.
So — even if body fat has
already been gained to a Normal healthy
level — exercise has been lowered but any add in
calories adds weight... could this be related to adrenals?
Because your
calorie maintenance
level already is how many
calories are needed for you to maintain your current weight.
If you feel like your
calories are at a good
level already, try dropping them just 100 - 200
calories.
