To lose one pound a week, you need to consumer 3500 calories a week fewer than you burn. You can do this by creating a calorie deficit of 500 per day. 500 x 7 = 3500 and that's a pound.

When you do jumping jacks what do you lose?
it depends on how many you do. You wont really lose anything, but you'll burn calories which will eventually lead to a little weight loss. If your looking to lose weight, jumping jacks aren't the best way to go. They should be used primarily to get your heart rate up.
What s a basal metabolic rate?
It's a reference point of sorts that tells you how many calories you need to ingest to 'maintain' your current weight. It can be used to lose weight or gain weight by subtracting or adding calories to your daily intake, with your BMR as your reference point.
How lose 40 pound in 30 days?
You can't safely lose weight at that rate- it would require a daily caloric deficit in excess of 3000 calories. Eat right and exercise regularly to lose weight successfully.
Do children lose weight faster than adults?
Ultimately, it depends on the diet. If you're overeating you won't lose weight even if you are a kid. When we have low metabolism rate, body cannot burn more calories, high metabolism helps us to burn more calories. Children have fast metabolism rate when we compared to adults and teenagers. That is the reason children lose weight faster than adults.
How Using a Calorie Calculator Can Increase Weight Loss?
Most people that are dieting know that to lose weight, you should take in less calories than your body uses on a daily basis. Yet, you cannot restrict your calories too much or you can actually impede weight loss. In order to determine exactly how many calories you need to eat for optimum weight loss, you can use a calorie calculator. A calorie calculator will take your current weight and activity level and figure how many calories you need to consume per day to maintain your current weight or to lose weight at a healthy rate.
How many calories should a 52 year old active man consume a day?
If you are a normal man with average weight and height, your basal metabolic rate is about 1500 calories/day. If you are not physically active, eating more than that will make you gain weight. Eating less will make you lose weight. This is only an estimation, though. To accurately determine your basal metabolic rate and how many calories you should eat, use a calculator.
How many calories for a 200 pound fifty year old woman need to lose 3 pounds a week?
3500 calories equal 1lb of fat. So a reasonable weight loss is to cut out 500 calories a day and lose an average of 4lbs per month. To answer the question as is, she needs to cut out 1500 calories a day. That's the basics. Of course you can sit down and figure out Basic Metabolic Rate and how many calories it takes to maintain that 200 lb weight each day, then cut out calories from there. There is a formula out there for that.
How many calories do you need to eat to maintain 800 pounds?
That depends on how many calories the person in question's body requires to stay alive, or their BMR (basal metabolic rate) which depends on age, sex and weight. If they need 3000 calories, they will need to eat 3000 calories to maintain their weight. If they need 4000 calories, they need 4000 calories to maintain their weight. In addition, if they eat more than their BMR, they will gain weight, if they eat less, they will lose weight. In theory, you can have 2 totally different people who weight 800 pounds, BUT they each require different amounts of calories to maintain their 800 pounds.
What is the advantage of a spinning workout routine if trying to lose pregnancy weight?
It is a constant burning of calories, even after the workout is done. Since you stay in the target heart rate zone for so long, you burn many calories while do it and also have after burn.
How do you lose 10 kg in 1 month?
It depends on your metabolic rate. 1 pound = 3500 calories...starving yourself slows the metabolic rate and can make it harder to lose weight. Also, if you lose weight too quickly, you lose muscle. When you lose muscle, even when you begin to eat regularly again will cause your metabolic rate to slow as muscle burns more calories (even during resting) than fat.
How many calories per day should a diet contain?
Some say that diets should contain 2,000 calories a day. That's a good average but the reality is your caloric needs depend on your age, sex, weight and desire to lose weight. If you look up a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculator you can find out how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight. If you want to lose weight, subtract 300 for women and 500 for men. These are general guidelines only, so ask a doctor to make sure you are doing what it healthiest for you.
What is the calorie intake number allowing you to lose weight quicker?
Simply, less than you use! However this makes it difficult to calculate, since it is on an individual basis. I recommend using a basal metabolic rate calculator to figure out how many calories you use by simply being alive. Then add the calories used in any exercises you do for the day. This will roughly equal your caloric needs. Recommendations for how many calories below your caloric needs you should consume to lose weight vary, ranging from 250 to 500 calories.
