Calorie reduction needed for weight loss?

Answer 1

The first thing you need to do is determine how many calories you will need to achieve your target goal weight and only then determine the necessary adjustment to your current daily caloric consumption. You may be surprised to see it isn't that much if you are not more than 20 to 25 lbs over weight. Let me demonstrate this opinion.

Your caloric requirements can be estimated by determining your Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR - calories burned at rest) and adding in those necessary to fuel your levels of activities. There are many “BMR” calculators or formulas available on-line that can give you your estimations. However, a very simple formula is to multiply your target weight by 10 calories per body pound to determine your estimated BMR and then add 40% more (4 calories) if your are sedentary (no exercise other than daily random movement), 50% more (5 calories) if you are moderately active (2 - 3 days of exercise including 20 to 30 minutes of cardio exercise) and 70% more (7% calories) if you are active (4 or more days of exercise including 30 minutes or more of cardio exercise). So using these simple multipliers of 14 calories, 15 calories or 17 calories will provide a fairly accurate “guess”.

Answer 2

3,500kcal needed for loss of 1lb approx.

Obviously, when you first start, you will lose weight a little quicker because of water weight.

However, the 3,500kcal splits nicely into 500kcal a day for a week.

So for a weight loss of about 1lb a week, a deficit of 500kcal a day should be maintained, through less food and more exercise.

Obviously, I'm not a medical professional, but I do know a fair amount about nutrition so this is pretty accurate :)

Good luck love :)

Answer 3

The average recommended amount of calories for men is 2500. For women it's 1500. There is no calorie intake to lose weight. The more you sweat, the more you lose. Just fill half of your plate with vegetables and exercise regularly, at least one hour per day. Also, count your calories!!
