If i weight 165lbs.how many calories a day do I need to lose weight?

Answer 1

I will not support losing weight by cutting down on calories. There are 3 ways by which you can burn your weight:

1) Doing cardio exercises: These exercise burn calories when you are doing them. No calories or fat burnt after you stop.

2) Strength training: They help in 2 ways. Building lean muscles that in turn burns calories and also burning the calories during and after your work out.

3) Reducing the calorie intake: This should be the last method. you have to ensure that you are taking proper carbs and fat in your diet and keeping a watch on the same.

3500 Cal is equal to 1 pound of fat. So depending on how you burn / reduce the calories you can reach your target weight.

Answer 2

You don't have to count your calories. To lose weight, you must slowly cut off very little at a time the amount of food you eat, since this way your body won't notice. If you starve yourself, your body will go into "starvation mode". That means your body will think you're starving and hold on to all your bad fat. If you take a diet, as soon as you get skinny and start eating regular food again you will regain all your fat.

So what's the best solution?:

Make slow and very small changes to how you eat every day. Your body won't notice and you won't be hungry. Stay away from junk food, fast foods, and any other bad food. Once you stay away from this for a while, you will find it to salty or to sugary. Don't make ridiculous changes, as some people say they will only eat cabbage soup, for example. They don't get enough vitamins and it leads to very dangerous illness. Tell yourself that your desserts will only be healthy foods, for example fruit salad instead of a chocolate sundae. Work out regularly. Exercise is important to stay healthy and live longer.

Answer 3

You need to have your body fat tested, then times your lean mass by 16 to determine the calories you should eat per day to sustain your lean mass.
