I have seen numerous posts on the nutrition calculator so i felt I would post one of my earlier posts that can be adapted for anyone wanting to know their real caloric needs, I hope this can be helpful to those of you confused by your calories being overestimated.

Actually the on site calculator is pretty good at determining calories for an active day that includes 8 hours of activity(such as work) & 1-1.5 hours training, youl also notice that the amount of cals is the same whether you enter sedentary or active for your activity level so here is a tip. If you do not train that day subtract 2 cal per lb of bodyweight , if you do not work subtract 2 cal per lb of BW, or if you do not work or train subtract 4 cal per lb of BW. This should effectively modify the calculator to your activity level, hope this helps.
