Calories: You and Weight Loss

Calories: You and Weight Loss

Simple and easy way to find out what you daily calorie requirements is determined by how active you are in relation to how much food / calories you consume.

First lets figure out how active are you.
Are sedentary if so 14 times your weight = calories per day.
If you are more active (moderate) you'll multiply by 17 to your weight.
If your very active multiply 20 by your weight.

Activity Level Formula:

weight x 14 = cal/ day

weight x 17 = cal/ day

weight x 20 = cal/ day

Example:

200bls sedentary person would require only 2800 calories to maintain their weight.
then same person could try to lose weight by subtracting about 500 calories.

200 x 14=2800 to maintain current body weight
200 x 14 - 500=2300 possible weight loss
200 x 20-500(calorie)-500(exercise)=3000 great chance for weight loss

1. There can be some weight loss just by controlling the caloric consumption.
2. The same person changing their activity level and not the diet will have the same affect as number 1 example.
3. If they change both the in-take and activity levels they can greatly transform themselves.
