Anonymous asks: What's a good caloric range for a vegan whose looking to lose some weight? I feel like myfitnesspal always sets really low ranges.

“

If you don’t like the MFP recommended amount (I don’t always agree either) you can use this equation from the insanity meal plan.

655+(4.35x Weight in pounds)+(4.7x Height in inches)-(4.7x Age)= The amount of calories your body burns just from being alive 

Step 2: Take that number and multiply by your activity level:

  • 1.2 Sedentary (little to no exercise)
  • 1.375 Lightly Active (1-3 days a week)
  • 1.55 Moderately Active (3-5 days a week)
  • 1.7 Very Active (6-7 days a week)

Step 3:

  • LOSE weight: Subtract 500
  • MAINTAIN weight: keep the number the same
  • GAIN weight: Add 500
