With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.
How many calories does a person really need? Any diet plan I have ever tried has said that I need 1800 calories which seems very high.
I am quite active and just want to bring down the bodyfat a little. Does that seem like too much? I feel like I used to eat more and exercise less and I weighed less. How does that work?
