What’s Your Daily Calorie Requirement To Lose Weight?
Obesity is now considered to be the second most common “preventable” disease today. It is so common that one out of every 4 adults living in New York is obese. However, it is good to know that people are now more aware of this health issue and they are taking extra measures like seeking professional help and going on proper diets to counter this hidden disease.
People are now looking for solutions for their weight problems because of the wellness awareness campaigns conducted by concerned government and non-government organizations. There are now websites that offer free instructions teaching people to count calories and some even have BMI calculators readily available.
Basically we all need approximately one calorie each minute, simply to keep living. Even while we are sleeping we burn up an average of 500 calories throughout the night. Men and women need around 1000 to 1500 calories every day to keep up with their daily routines.
How Do We Burn Calories Every Day?
Your daily activities: Standing=25 calories per hour; doing light housework=70-150; sitting or resting=20; thinking=10; leasurely walking=100-125; while getting dressed=35; but when you do strenuous exercises you can burn 200 to 500 calories.
There are many factors you may need to consider to know how much calories you would need each day. These factors are dependent on your body frame, genetic make up, metabolism and even your emotional state for that day.
A good way of finding out what type of counting calories diet you need to lose weight is to compute your present bodyweight x 13 = Calorie a day diet. For example, you weigh in around 150 lbs right now; 150 x 13 = 1950
This simple formula can give you the approximate amount only. If you weight 163 lbs multiply it by 13 equals 2119. Your caloric intake should just be approximately 2100 calories every day for you to lose weight. It will certainly help a lot if you could add some light to moderate exercises if you want to make your Weight Loss faster.

I agree it’s calories in, calories out. A deficit will cause you to lose weight, a surplus will cause you to gain weight. I’ve been mindful of caloric intake for twenty years and it’s part of my success in maintaining an ideal, healthy body weight for my entire adult life. But, it’s only half the story. The rest of it is to make sure that everything you put in your body has nutritional value, you’re eating a balanced diet, and you don’t eat beyond feeling full. Everything having nutritional value means no processed food, no trans fats, and no high fructose corn syrup, A balanced diet means plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables. Not eating beyond feeling full means slow down when you eat so you’re brain has a chance to catch up to your stomach. Then you can reach or maintain a normal weight AND be healthy.
