Here's a simple formula you can use to estimate your total caloric needs for the day*
- Change your weight in pounds to kilograms: Divide your weight by 2.2.
- Your basal metabolic rate is approximately one calorie per kilogram per hour. Multiply your weight in kilograms by the 24 hours in a day. This is the number of calories you burn just being alive each day.
- Now factor in activity: Multiply your calories needed per day (from #2 above) by the following factors, depending on your activity level:
- Light activity: multiply #2 by 1.3
- Moderate: multiply #2 by 1.4
- Heavy: multiply #2 by 1.5
The key to weight control is basically a question of energy balance – input is food intake and output is by way of physical activity.
When you consume only as many calories as your body needs, your weight will usually remain constant. Eat more than your body needs, and you’ll put on excess fat. If your energy output is greater than your food intake, you’ll burn excess fat.
