I can help you out with how many calories you need to consume based on your activity level
BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs
Activity factor
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. Active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2 X day training, marathon, football camp, contest, etc.)
Example
Male 30 years old
5'8" (172.7 cm)
172lbs (78 kilos)
BMR = 1793 cals/day
Activity Level - 1.55 (workout 3-4 times a day)
1.55 x 1793 = 2779 cals/day
Use the formulas above to determine how much you need to stay at maintenance level. Bump the cals up or down if you are cutting or bulking. Hope that helps.
