2,800 to 3,000 calories a day maybe if you're very active. However, sitting on your behind all day long day after day, I doubt you'll need that many calories a day to maintain your weight.

Yeah, I will have to recalculate once I am actually on the road. Plus my weight will be lower because I am doing this 21 day detox called the Ultimate Reset. Trying to get down to "fighting weight!"
-
Actually now that I think about it, the formula didn't take into effect how sedentary you were at your job because the job I'm leaving is a desk job: sitting on my butt all day, except moving still instead of driving a truck. The only thing it factored in was how many times you exercised per week, and how rigorous it was.

From "freighting weight" ?

2800 to 3k a day is insane for a truckdriver, keep it under 2000 calories and you will drop weight.
If you do a Raw Vegan diet you can eat all you want and not pass that mark -
Yeah, I figured it must of included your current exercise routine. Doing that kind of exercise on the road is almost impossible. Good luck on everything!

Maybe so, but I am determined to make it work. There is one cliche that I find actually speaks some truth: where there's a will, there is a way.
