But chances are if you're a male college student and are very active your maintenance calories will be much higher. Start by finding out your maintenance (number of calories you would need to eat each day to maintain your current weight) add 500, and eat that number of calories in CLEAN food in your 5-6 hour non-fasting window.
You took the words right out of my mouth so I'll just add
