Re: how many calories do u need personally to grow?

Between 700-1000 over my maintenence calories. I cycle though, or else I keep needing more and more for the same effect (metabolism ramps up too much, get way too hot).

Getting older can slow down your metabolism.

Life style changes, i.e physical job, sports, hobbie's etc changing

Re: how many calories do u need personally to grow?

I find that I need about 4000 kcal / day to grow, I am 6'3" and currently weigh 13st 10lb. My metabolism is so fast that the weight just falls off me if I drop below this level of caloric intake.

Re: how many calories do u need personally to grow?

What about some one who is 18 - 18 and half stone with a slow metabolism, how many do you think they would need to eat to grow?
