Well heres a recording of todays calories and the breakdown on it ( I use FitDay.com to record them, I'm not trying to lose weight, just maintain my current)
I weigh 140 pounds, I'm 6'0 Ft. Tall, 18 years old, male. I know I might be getting too little of something, but thats why i've posted here because I know you guys know what you're talking about, and I'm sure I ask too many of the same type of questions, and I apologize, just trying to make sure I get things done right.
Now as far as activities go, I wake up, take a shower, walk to the bus stop (I'm guessing 1/8 a mile) I walk class to class, I have a PE class, usually do 1/2-1 mile walk/jog, then play some tennis. Using my pedometer I've recorded my steps during school to be around 5500-6500 a day. Then when I get home I relax for a bit, then later I walk/jog for about 30-60 minutes, usually do the jogging/walking 6 days a week, school stuff being 5 days out of the week. My guess is around 9,000-10,000 or more steps taken in a day, which I think is equal to 4 miles?
I also will be starting minor weight training and things like push ups/crunches into my daily excercise, but I'm still working out a plan on that.
Anyways, is 2210 too low for my maintanence? Not sure how this fitday.com works but for my lifestyle (I just listed seated work, all the other ones didnt make much sense to me) and basal (dont know what this means) it already lists 2800 calories burned, excluding activities :-/ So I'm pretty lost as to what my maintanence calories should be.
Sorry for such a long read, help is greatly appreciated.
