Some trainers will go with your lean body mass or desired weight, but if you rae larger you will need to gradually bring down your calories. What will really determine your optimal intake will be your current intake. you have to adjust from that to get it right. -------------- I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. - Henry David Thoreau
