could you spot me on meal planner that would bring in about 2200 calories? i am doing hardcore strength training but am looking to drop a bit of weight while going on strong with the strength training but bringing in around 300 grams of protein is alot of calories
or could you give me an idea of how many calories i should consume per day to make good strength gains and able to still lose weight ( i dont mind if its simple as losing 3 pounds a month) as long as it doesnt disrupt my strength training too much i realize any amount of weight loss while doing this is going to affect my gains but im looking for a good trade off
/e i got to thinking and i guess i left some important things out i am 6'2 240lbs i am completly unaware of what my maintance count of calories would be
First calculate your BMR here:
http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/After you get that number, I want you to ADD 500 calories to workout days and subtract 300 calories from non-workout days.
Example, if your BMR is 2300, you would eat 2,800 on workout days and 2,000 on non-workout days.
In regard to meal planning....just pick meals that fit from the list of foods below:

Remember, 1g of protein = 4cal, 1g carbs = 4cal, and 1g fats = 9cal
I would advise somewhere around 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats.
