Today a man told me he eats 1,000kcals a day....#someonehelpthisman'sbloodsugar

(For the record, all the important facts are from Williams, M.H. (2010). Nutrition for heath, fitness, and sport (9^th ed.). New York, NY: The McGraw-Hill Companies) Thanks Westmont!

Seriously though.
He works out 5x a week, on 1,000kcals, he is an average sized guy too.

Here is a tip, figure out how many kcals you need daily based upon your daily activity level.  I like the Harris-Benedict Equation, here is an example FOR WOMEN from my final grad project...

FOR MEN BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )


Activity Factor Explanation:

•    Sedentary (little or no exercise): 1.2
•    Lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): 1.375
•    Moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week): 1.55
•    Very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week): 1.725
•    Extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training): 1.9
