Question:
Describe the relationship between calorie intake and fitness level.?
Answers:
Each person has number of calories that they need to maintain the current weight they are at. This number of calories takes into consideration the amount of exercise performed weekly. To bulk (build muscle) you will need to increase that number by about 500 calories and incorporate a exercise routine aimed at muscle growth. To cut (lose body fat) without losing muscle mass a person would cut that number by about 500 calories and incorporate an exercise routine that focuses on fat burning. The total number of calories should be split 30% Proteins, 50% Carbs, and 20% Fats.
A good bulking workout is a 4 day split. For example:
Monday: Shoulders and Triceps
Tuesday: Shoulders and Back
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: Chest and Biceps
Friday: Lower Body
Saturday: OFF
Sunday: OFF
*Doing cardio on off days
A good cutting routine would be:
Monday: Upper Body
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Lower Body
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Upper Body
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: OFF
Then the next week start with Lower Body on Monday and continue the rest of the week rotating like in the first week.
Calorie Intake is all about your goals. To get cut and lean you would lower your calorie intake without sacrificing your muscle mass. To get big you would increase you calorie intake.
