Eat till you're full, I swim 6 times a week aNd lift 3 times a week, it works for me. You just need to keep you're body fueled.

It depends on your weight... but 2K calories is the best out of the poll options.

Depends on the goal. Do you wanna lose, gain, or maintain?

[Asker]

maintain

[James687]

lol how can you achieve any results if you want to maintain your weight? if you want results you will either have to gain or lose weight, end of... muscle doesn't turn to fat and fat doesn't turn to muscle

[marksmith108]

But you can lose fat and gain muscle. Weigh yourself in the morning to get an accurate number.

Add a few hundred calories to the number of calories needed to maintain weight depending on how much physical activity you do.

I'm not looking to achieve anything, except to maintain my weight. I have a problem with losing to much weight so I need to make sure I eat enough.

Depends but usually should be between 2000 and 2500 calories over 4-6 meals

[Klaatu51]

depends on your weight obviously...

its not how much you eat, its what you eat
