I'm Krissy, eighteen and married. I've been on my journey since Decemeber 2011. I eat clean and train hard. I am
currently studying to become an ISSA Trainer (Personal Training, Nutrition, Fitness Therapy) My askbox is always open, it doesn't even have to be fitness related.
“Hi there. I was wondering if you could tell me a basic formula for caloric intake. Like to have a daily intake of 2000 calories, should I eat 3000 calories and burn 1000? Or is it something completely different? Ive googled and ask a ton of fitblrs but my question always gets ignored so hopfully you'll answer :).”
Okay, the average woman has to eat a minimum of 1200 calories a day, AFTER exercise. So lets say you eat 1200 calories, then go to the gym and burn 500 calories. That’d put you at a daily calorie intake of 700, so you’d have to eat another 500 calories to get back to twelve hundred.
Now lets say you eat 1700 calories, go to the gym and burn 500 calories. Technically you wouldn’t have to eat anymore calories, but you should if you’re hungry!
Here’s a calculator telling you your daily PERSONAL CALORIE NEEDS
With this calculator you shouldn’t go below the ‘extreme fat loss’ calories/day. That’s the bare minimum for you!
I really hope this helps, and someone please correct me if I’m wrong!

Thank you for answering this! I was confused as well. Can you make this rebloggable by chance? There are a ton of people who are confused about this at my collage P90x Class.
