Hi.

Just wanted some feedback regarding my current training and calorie consumption.

Train 4X a week punching 1 hour stationary bike working at 85% MHR, burning 1000 cals followed by 20 min high intensity bodyweight routine burning 220 calories.
Train 2X a week road cycling for an hour averaging 75% MHR, burning about 700 calories, followed by a 30 minute compound lifting routine burning about 200 calories.

Aiming to consume only 1700 calories per day the healthy way. A good blend of cereals, fruits, veg, nuts, lean meats.
Staying away from excessive sugars and saturated fats.

The goal is to just lean right out without losing too much muscle mass.

Would you think 1700 calories is too deficient or pump it up around the 2000 mark?

Thanks in advance.

How are you determining the calorie expenditure on these fitness activities?

One can not accurately determine whether the calorie ranges you are approximating for yourself, are accurate deficit targets, without knowing some of your personal particulars, such as: Age, Height, Weight, and Sex.

For example: A 300 pound male, 6FT 6IN. and 23YOA, may want to lose fat tissue weight, and setting calorie deficit targets at 1,700 could be far too low.

Please, provide more information, and you will obtain more accurate advice more adjacent to your personal goal of tissue loss.

Welcome to the forum! We are glad you joined! Wish you much success within your fitness goals.



Best regards,
