How many calories should a Fifty year old man of five foot eleven inches weighing two hundred five pounds consume?
I calculated, using the Harris-Benedict equation that you need to consume about 2340 calories per day to maintain your weight. This is assuming that you are most sedentary, meaning you do little or no exercise. If you are a little bit more active than that (light exercise and activity a few days a week) it would be more like 2500 calories. If neither of those fit your description, use a search engine and search "BMR" or "Harris Benedict equation" and you should be able to calculate for yourself. Obviously, the more active you are the more calories you burn per day. If you are trying to lose weight, this could mean being able to eat more calories!
My question is if I get about 1000 calories a day for a month or 1200 will i loose some serious weight I am trying to drop down about 20 pounds just because it is something i have to do?
If you want to actually be able to maintain your weight loss, don't try to do it fast. You'll almost always gain it back. Aim for a goal of losing 1 to 2 pounds a week. That's a healthy weight loss. Calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR). They have calculators online that will do this for you to help you determine how many calories your body burns each day.Once you know your BMR, you can use that to determine how many calories you need to eat in order to lose the weight in a safe manner by using the Harris Benedict Equation.http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/
