I'm 6' and 244, I stay moderately active. Looking to gradually increase that to very active once the weather finally stays warm. Can anyone give me an idea on how many calories I need consume to prevent my metabolism from falling? I tend to under eat not intentionally, but my appetite tends to fall off a bit the more active I am (weird I know).
Anyway the last 3 weeks I've been pretty active doing medium to high intensity cardio, pushups, a little weight training and yet my weight has pretty much stayed the same (maybe a difference of 2-3 pounds). I did some research and that led me to believe to that perhaps I was eating to many calories, but after recording what I was eating the last few days I realize that I was not eating enough (somewhere between 1300-1800 most days). So now I'm working on trying to determine how many calories I need per day. Any suggestions? I've read a lot of different theories on what's needed.
