How many calories do you have to eat to maintain a weight of 124 lbs?

Assuming you are Female and 35 your BMR is 1328.8.

That means your body burns 1328 calories if you were to do nothing.

Lets say with additional activity (work, exercise, walking etc) you burn another 500 Calories, that will bring you up to 1828 calories per day.

Then you eat a 1500 calories diet (pretty normal, just need to watch what you eat), you will have an excess burn of 328 Calories per Day

It takes 3500 calories of work to burn 1lb of fat

So you will need to burn 24,500 Calories in Excess of what you consume.

24,500 / 328 = 74.695 or for simplicity sake, 2 and a half months.

How many calories in 3 teaspoons of butter?

A serving of butter is a tablespoon rather than a teaspoon. There are three teaspoons per tablespoon. A teaspoon of butter would have about 33 calories. Butter and margarine have the same number of calories, but margarine is made from hydrogenated oils, which contain a lot of trans fats. Trans fats are more dangerous than cigarettes, when it comes to heart attacks and cancer. Don't trust the label that says "0 grams trans fats", because that actually means "less than 1/2 gram per serving". There is no safe level for trans fats. Look at the ingredients list, and if you see the word "hydrogenated" anywhere (including "partially hydrogenated"), leave the package in the supermarket to die of old age.

How many calories does a 14-year-old girl who is a runner need?

A 14 yr old needs 2200 cal a day. You should talk to your doctor for more information.

An active 14 year old should not need to count calories, her appetite should be her guide. Just make make sure what you eat is healthy, protein for muscles and bones, carbs for energy and some fat to help the vitamins A & D you need for strong bones.

Not really... 2200 is a little too much for a 14 year old. I'd say about 2000-2100 would be good.

How many calories are in a gram of amino acids?

It may depend on the exact amino acid. The variety of amino acids comes from their differing molecular structures. For instance, a molecule of Glutamine, a nonessential amino acid, is made up of a combination of molecules which results in 5 atomic bonds (2 oxygen (O) atoms, atomically bonded to an hydroxide molecule (OH), one NH2 molecule and an H2N molecule).

Calories come from the energy that is released from the breaking of chemical bonds. It seems the combination of bonds (the amount or the type) which make up a molecule would ultimately effect how many calories it contains. Therefore, a gram of Glutamine, for example, may not contain the same amount of calories as a gram of Valine, another type of amino acid.

What I can say is that basic nutrition says that:

(1) 1 Gram of Fat = 9 Calories (kcals)

while

(2) 1 Gram of Protein or Carbohydrates = 4 Calories (kcals)

and

(3) 1 Gram of Alcohol = 7 Calories (kcals)

These are all basic averages and are no where near exact but are suitable for use in everyday diet management.

To more precisely answer your Question: "How many calories are in 1g of Amino Acids?

According to my particular supplement facts there is 15 calories in 4.5 grams of pure L-Glutamine.

15 calories / 4.5 grams of L-Glutamine = 3.3333 Calories in 1 gram

How many calories are burnt to lose 100 grams?

This is a question with variable answers, however I'll assume your talking about burning fat rather than muscle. In one kilogram of fat (or 1000 grams) there is approximately 37,000 kilojoules of energy, or 8837 Calories. So by dividing this by ten, there is 3700 kilojoules (884 Calories) of energy. Thats quite a lot.

When loosing weight as part of a reconfiguration towards a healthier lifestyle, you want to loose fat instead of muscle, so its important to do weight training as well as cardiovascular or aerobic based exercise.

Your body's weight however is bound to fluctuate. You can easily loose 100 grams by going to the bathroom and excreting, through sweat loss while exercise, and you will weigh more directly after a main meal like dinner than you will three hours post meal. Its very normal for the bodily weight to increase and decrease by this much throughout the day.
