I will entering my first contest this summer. How many of you actually count your calories when preparing for a contest?
I suspect you really need to so that you are precise in your quest to get ripped and in condtion for the show.
does everyone count them or do some go by the mirror only and experience?

If counting the calories, does anyone recommend a good source to dig the numbers up?
Thanks

Rich-- take a read here and see if you can catch any good information that may help you on your quest.

The answer is YES! Most if not all count calories on their programs.
They have a baseline count and go up or down from there. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks of trial and error to get a good number...
Getting the correct RANGE is what is important here. Not too high, not too low!

Thank you very much for the information Sandy.
This is a great forum you have.
