How many calories should be eaten to lose weight?

Answer 1

it depends on how much you eat and how many times you workout. if you eat and work out ALOT, then you got no problem because you're gaining calories but you're also losing them.

Answer

You need at least enough to support your daily activities--around 2000 calories a day. If you go below that, your body thinks you are in starvation mode, and will consume muscle rather than fat.

Answer 2

It depends on your age, height, sex, and body type. A good start is to eat 500 Calories less than it takes to maintain your current weight (there are calculators online to estimate this), but be wary. In addition to cutting out the bad parts of your diet (extraneous Calories, fat, sodium, etc.), you should focus on eating balanced meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Also, starvation diets do more harm in the long-term than good. Females should eat at least 1,200 Calories a day and males 1,500 unless you are on a special weight loss plan advocated by your physician. It is important to note that growing children (including adolescents) especially need to eat enough during the day to foster healthy growth.

Another important factor to weight loss is burning off Calories through regular activity and exercise. Exercise is wholly beneficial because it burns Calories, helps you maintain/build muscle while losing fat, and raises your metabolic rate (which means you burn more Calories overall).
