Was recently advised to consume 2500-3000 a day to maintain muscle mass (not sure how reliable this is but was from a local personal trainer), I'm about 150lbs 5"10 and do alot of running as I'm training for marathon.

Anyhow, it must be pretty sweet being a heavyweight, those guys can eat relatively well and not focus on making weight but being in great shape.Last edited by _original_; 07-31-2014, 10:42 AM.

For a little perspective when I was doing bodybuilding and weighed 250lb I needed about 5000 calories a day to maintain weight. When I started boxing I didn't need as many calories to maintain weight and ate around 3500-4000 calories. A professional boxer trains harder than I do obviously and would need to eat more calories but I don't slack on training either.
