According to [url=http://weightloss.about.com/od/eatsmart/a/blcalintake_2.htm][/url] as well as some other studies I've seen, one pound is equivalent to 3500 calories. So in order to lose one pound a week, you must expend (on average) 500 more calories a day than you consume. That's assuming you are trying to lose weight.

I recall reading that a lifetime diet containing a slight caloric deficit appears to be one of the healthiest diets around in terms of life expectancy.

Of course that doesn't lend itself to the sort of body builds we tend to consider healthy looking.

As far as high protein, high calorie foods are concerned....most animal proteins are high calorie...beef and pork can be high fat as well. If you are looking to up your calories...try adding good fats..eat some fatty fish, avocado, nuts, etc.

It depends what your goal is...also, what is the difference between input and output would be an important factor. I believe the overall recommendation for weight loss is to have a couple of hundred calories less than expenditure and maintenance for healthy weight loss. Maintenance is roughly 10x your body weight. Hope that helps!

Consumed Vs. Expended Calories

Just wondering, I have a hard time finding foods that have ALOT of calories to meet the (roughly) 3000 per day calorie rate without going over my fat and carbs (Hence, other threads that I wrote asking about high calorie, low fat, high proten foods)... PLEASE HELP, its much appreciated
