[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1897512, member: 245335"] Define surplus. I eat less than my Basic Metabolic Rate (a deficit?) and can still gain weight, so maybe rather than a caloric surplus we should be talking about "more than our body uses". Calculating your BMR is easy enough using something like the Harris Benedict Formula, you just hope that it's right. It's more of a guideline for some people, certainly not an exact science. Keeping a food diary is probably a good start and weighing absolutely everything, us humans are notoriously bad at estimating the weight of food and that's true if you want to lose or gain weight. At least then you can see exactly what you are eating in terms of calories and nutrients, then you can start adding. [/QUOTE]
