How Many Calories to Eat for Fat Burning

Fat burning diet plans are tough to figure out for some people. You certainly can't just copy what other people are doing. For example, a 350 pound guy is going to have a different fat burning diet plan than a 140 pound woman. Sure that's an extreme example, but the point is you really have to individualize your fat loss nutrition program.

Then there are problems with "calorie estimation equations". For example, a 240 pound woman can't use the rule to "multiply your bodyweight by 11" to get the number of calories you should eat for fat loss. That would grossly overestimate how many calories she needs to eat. And of course, so would the 1g per pound of bodyweight protein rule...(there aren't too many women, if any, that need to eat 140g of protein per day, let alone 240).

So here's my recommended individual approach to choosing how many calories you should eat for fat burning...and it comes from a q'n'a in the nutrition forum of TT Members  

Q: In the Turbulence Training Fusion Fat Loss Guide, Craig says he eats 2100 calories a day (in the manner described in the guide) for fat burning. I'm planning on doing the fusion fat loss for my work out next month. How many calories would you recommend I target as a 5'2", 41 year old female? Thanks!

Answer:
I recommend going to fitday.com and finding out how many calories you are eating now.

Then do 3 things.

1) Improve the quality of the calories you are eating.

2) Recalculate how many calories you are eating when you start eating as well as possible (you'll probably end up eating fewer calories because quality food is more filling).

3) Then re-evalutating to see if you still need to eat less.

It's impossible to just throw out a number for people to eat for fat burning...a tiny bit, and I mean tiny, of work has to go into the planning. But do that, get an individualized plan, and you're set for maximum fat burning in minimum time with the Turbulence Training for fat burning program
