    Caloric intake and adjustments for cardio.

    Hi all,

    Currently cutting.
    196lbs
    6.1'
    27 yrs.
    BF 17%

    My daily Caloric intake is 2500 Cals.

    Today I did cardio and the machine told me I burned 300 Cals.

    Question:

    Should my Caloric intake be 2500 + X where X is how much cardio I've done, or just be 2500 and any cardio on top helps me lose fat...?

    Thx.

    The point of cardio is to loose fat, so no don't add those calories on there.

    I wouldn't go any lower than where you are at now. stick with that for a while and see how the fat loss goes.
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Don't think I can afford that--show is in less than seven weeks.
