Nah. Ive had all the classes. A simple formula which I had hoped you would know is your desired weight in pounds times 15 calories. 100pounds X 15calories per pound = 1500 calories per day. Thats for the average person who is doing very little activity. If you're a 200 pound man, you can get by with 3000 calories. As for fat, keep those calories around 30 to 35% of your caloric intake. A 200 pound man X 15 calories per pound = 3000 calories per day Fat calories of 30 % of his daily intake = 30% of 3000 = 900 fat calories per day. http://tracey518.tripod.com/
