weight loss question...

alright guys, quick question... I am around 250 right now, and am 6-1... I am not what you would call "fat" as I was an avid weightlifter up until about 2 months ago and just kind of drifted away from it.  My question is: I am looking to get down to like 205, what is a realistic amount of time to hit that number if I run around 1.5 miles 5 days a week?  Thanks for you help...

loaded question man.

dont drink, 25 years old, can cut down calories to like 1400 a day? or is that too little?

Fried is no good here.......... he doesn't drink

Can't imagine 25 years old and trying to lose weight.

Over my head.

 

Fried can only remember maybe 5 years max.

 

This dude is just fucking around but Fried will go ahead and give an opinion..............

Thinking one pound per week is best case for proper health. 

Possibly a little more, but don't want to break up muscle fibers

 

Slow and steady.

And One pound is a shitload of not eating ice cream.

Imagine a pound of butter............ per week.

That's a good enough goal.

If can shave 500 calories a day........ and work out.............Looking at a lil more than a pound a week.

 

1400 calories a day would put me in a coma.

Would say 500 less than current.  And if you are a serious weight trainer, you already know this.......... and just fucking around.

Fried weighs 176 pounds and no way could survive off of 1400 calories.

Breakeven over here is around 3,000++

 

3,700 to be exact............ metabolic testing is important.

thanks.... i finished college 2 yrs ago after playing college football, that is why I am looking to cut down... 

Some ex players are in shape and some are not.

Working out never stops.

When get to 30-40............. you wanna be in shape.

 

50 - 60.................. same

70-80......... same

thanks for the help.... like i said, i am still in pretty good shape, just want to lose weight because I know what the muscle will turn to lol.

80-90  ........... Okay, same thing

CapAmsShield................

Man........... Life changes.

The ONE thing you can do about it is to stay in shape.

 

You already know what to do........................

Shit don't stop.

Same thing...... just less intensity.  1/8 speed.

Wow.  You must be very active. I'm a pretty normal 5'10 175 or so and I need to eat 2k or under to have a chance to lose weight.  I shoot for 1,800-2,000 when I'm trying to lose a few.  When I don't give a fuck I'm probably eating more like 2,400-2,800.  If I ate 3,700 I'd be over 200 easy, I would assume.

quality of calories is much more important than quantity of calories
