Personal Nutritional Profile - Calculated Daily Requirements

Protein -
280 g .. maximum 10% variance is acceptable
Carbohydrates -
700 g .. maximum 10% variance is acceptable
Fats -
53 g .. maximum 10% variance is acceptable
Total Calories -
4351 .. calculated maximum, do not exceed for current goal


So for that above do i absolutely HAVE to get that many calories a day??? I don't even come CLOSE to consuming that much food these days.

Looks like it'll let you cut it down to 3900 if I'm not mistaken. It's a matter of trial and error. You might need 3500, but you might need 4500. Experiment and find out what works for you. If necessary, get some meal replacement drinks and/or bars.

The fat intake looks extremely low to me. You can afford to sacrifice some of the protein and/or carbs in favor of some healthy fats.

Within 10% of the total, one way or the other.
