@andresvelazquez I'd say somewhere between 2-3000 per day, currently. At the time of the video I was eating around 3500-4000, I think. I'm not entirely sure - it was over a year ago.
@zander811 Jus wondering cuz I'm 176lbs, 5'10'', and i'm cutting on 2100 which seems low but when i'm not at the gym i'm EXTREMELY sedentary (sit all day) so what would you suggest? You ever dipped slightly below 2k? I would prefer not to if I can avoid it...
@andresvelazquez If you can avoid it, try not to be so inactive during the day. I believe an active lifestyle will keep you growing. There was a study done that I read about a long time ago that showed 2 groups with the same caloric deficit: 500calories. One group ate 2500 and burned 3000, and the other age 1500 and burned 2000 (or something like that). The group that ate 2500 and burned 3000 retained more muscle mass by the end of the trial. It's my firm belief that gaining weight is similar.
@andresvelazquez I dont mean to Hijack Zanders vid cos he seems cool, but all i'd add is just monitor your bf % along with strength gains, adjusting calories accordingly. If you're gaining too much bf then slightly lower them, if you're not making progress in say 3 weeks - month slightly raise them.
How many daily calories do you range?

I never ate less than 2000 calories in a day. To me, with my active lifestyle, that's bordering on starvation. I get too hungry. lol
