So Im training calisthenics on M/W/F and i do kung fu for about 90 min on 2 of my rest days. I do yoga everyday for about 20 min for stretching after my workout or kung fu...calculators give me numbers between 2500-2900 kcal for maintence. Im 186cm tall and i weight 165lb , what do you guys think my maintence should be? Thanks
It depends if you want to lean bulk/dirty bulk/ or cut. So what is it that you would like to do?
Check Chris's nutritional guide video on YouTube, it's pretty good for all levels. I'm guessing by your stats you're an ectomorph. I suggest eating around 1-1.5 grams of protein(eggs, chicken or turkey, fish or beef) per pound of body weight. Drinking around 3 liters of water a day. Eating around 3 fruits and 2 vegetables a day. And eating a good quantity of carbs(brown rice, whole wheat breads, oats, nuts, almonds, walnuts). Try to keep your calorie intake at around 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fats(good healthy fats). Other than that, I really don't count calories. Hope I helped! Good luck!💪🏼
Is it okay to eat breaded chicken like the frozen chicken patty's you can get at the store or should I stick with grilled and rotisserie chicken?
Is frozen (breaded) chicken bad?
Breaded chicken will have more fat & carbs (which means more calories) than just a normally cooked chicken. If you reach the macro & calorie goal perfectly with breaded chicken it will not hurt - well at least for that day, health matters a lot so make sure unhealthier foods don't become an addiction but rather a reward for the good job you're doing with nutrition.
Ok thanks. Also, when having rotisserie chicken should I avoid eating the skin and only eat the meat?
