Welcome to Fat 2 Fit!
Not sure where to start? You’re in the right place. This blog was born after I had hernia surgery and realized... I wasn’t in the shape I thought I was. Not even close to the shape I used to be 20 years ago. But instead of spiraling, I took action—and I’m here to help you do the same.
Why Fat 2 Fit Exists
Let’s be real: it’s not about how much you weigh. That only matters when you're choosing a skydiving canopy. This blog is about becoming functionally strong, improving your core strength, building bone density, and aging like a boss—without a walker.
We’re all getting older. But do we want to hit 60 needing a hip replacement... or 100 and still moving like we’re 60? I’ll take the latter, thanks.

How Many Calories Should I Eat?
Weight loss isn’t magic—it’s math. Your body burns calories just to stay alive and functioning. A simple way to estimate your daily maintenance calories is:
Your weight in pounds × 14 = Your maintenance calories
To lose weight, eat fewer calories than this number. A 500-calorie deficit per day = roughly 1 pound lost per week.
| Current Weight (lbs) | Maintenance Calories (Weight × 14) | Calorie Goal (500 Deficit) |
|---|---|---|
| 150 | 2,100 | 1,600 |
| 180 | 2,520 | 2,020 |
| 200 | 2,800 | 2,300 |
| 220 | 3,080 | 2,580 |
Note: These are rough estimates. Your real calorie needs may vary based on muscle mass, age, hormones, and how active you are—but this gives you a solid starting point.
