Using some formula I saw on this board I collected this data. I cannot seem to find the formula anymore. I hope someone understand what it means.

(10 x 95.46) + (6.25 x 177.80) - (5 x 17) + 5

954.6 + 1111.25 - 85 + 5 = (2065.85 - 90) = 1975.85

1975.85 < --- Calories burned (if slept all day).
2129.01 < --- Online Calculation.

2568.605 < --- Calories needed per day.

After analyzing this information, I've concluded that I should be consuming as many calories as I burn if I slept all day. During the day, you will/should burn a few hundred more calories than if you slept all day. If you consume as much calories as you burn while a sleep all day, you will lose weight. Therefore, this is good for people trying to lose weight. Would that be a accurate statement?

Assuming I understand your question correctly, then yes, if you ate just the amount your body burns by being alive, you would lose weight. The reason is, TEF and Activity levels. TEF is the thermal effect of feeding, basically, your body burns energy (calories) in order to process the calories going in your mouth. I think this can be 200-400 cals, point is, it adds to your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate - what you burn by being alive). Activity level is just that, burning calories by scratching your ass, and of course, by working out! So to sum, pretend I have a RMR of 2000, then when factoring in my TEF and Activity level, I should eat 2600 cals a day. If I only eat that 2000, I am going to lose fat. (assuming of course training is in proper order)

Sorry if thats a jumbled mess.

Nice explanation MmW, Rep+!

Basically if you expend more calories then you take it in you loose weight.
By calculating your deficient correctly you can begin to predict how much weight you can loose a week or a month and so on. Generally its a good idea to shoot for a 3,500 calorie a week deficient, This Should result it a pound or near pound a week weight loss.

So if what you say is correct about how many calories you need. Then that would equal approximately 17,980 to maintain weight (assuming that calculation is for maintain). Now, to loose weight you might shoot for something like 14,500 calories a week.
NOTICE, This is NOT a recomendation on calorie consumption. More of an example of what pound/week would look like.

Now there are primarily two ways to work on a deficient, Eating less and exercising more. IMO, the majority of the deficient should come from exercise.
IMO, a young person should shoot for smaller deficients and smaller weekly weight loss, Why? Because we do not want to possibly retard any type of growth in the body by not properly fueling it. Meaning while an older heavily obese for the two pound, 7,000 calorie deficient, A young person should come no where near this. At maximum 3,000-3,500, again imo.

Now, you likely know one shouldn't weight train or do cardio activity's everyday. So generally 3days of weight training and 3 days on cardio each on opposing days is an accepted practice. Meaning of course one day a week should be for rest.

Calorie cycling is also beneficial if you know exactly how many calories you can expend in a x amount of time.

Anyway I'm going on and on way to much right now...
