Counting calories is a good idea to watch what you eat. Make sure you are aware of the portion size as it relates to the nutrional information on the product. Log everything you eat. There are programs (my Fitness Pal) that is able to do much of this work for you.
Best way is to write them down in a journal and avoid eating out (cook all your own food)
Generally the best way to determine a calorie count is to multiply your weight in lbs x 12. ie, 100lb = 1200 calories. In your case, 3360 calories.
I find the best solutions to weight loss are through the use of calorie counting. In this way I can know exactly the total amount of both calories and nutrients I can allot myself in a day, and per meal.
There are many programs that are designed to help people count calories. One of the most successful and well-known programs is Weight Watchers. You count the number of "points" instead of just calories.
You could buy a book that has each food and how many calories it has. For example, BBC GoodFood calorie count. You could note it down on a piece of paper, or make a document on a computer. Hope this helps :) !
You burn calories by doing everything.... the best way is to search how many calories you burn per bite...
If you are trying to lose weight than counting calories is a great way too do it. I would say 1500 calories a day is a great place too start. Just look at the nutrition lable on the back of stuff.
Exercise is the best way.
The easiest way to lose weight is count calories and exercise. Calories are what create the fat that is stored in your body. Eating less calories creates less fat. By exercising you loose calories, which also burns off fat.
It depends on your goal. It also depends on what works best for you. If you have a degree of insulin resistance (many people have without being aware of it) you will do better if you count carbohydrates rather than calories. It you find it difficult to lose weight, you may be insulin resistant.
a calorie is a mesure of fat like a cheese burger might have 2000 calories and a apple might have 20 so the more calories something has the more fatty it is and counting calories can help you loose weight in the way that you can keep count of how many calories you have had to how many you have lost
To get thin, eat less calories than you're body burns. Introduce more cardiovascular exercise into your lifestyle and eat foods with a lower calorie count. To stay thin, eat as many calories as your body burns. Always eat a balanced diet and decrease weight slowly.
