HOW MANY CALORIES ARE YOU BURNING EVERYDAY?BMR
OK, so I have some formulas which can help to give you a precise number, of how many calories you are burning per day, and from their you can eat less, or more to lose or gain weight!
REMEMBER…if you burn 2000 calories per day, and you are only eating 1500, you will lose 1LB per week because 1LB is equivalent to 3500 calories
500×7=3500 calories burnt per week=1lb per week= 4 lbs per month
…simple enough right?
BMR just means basil metabolic rate=The amount of calories you burn at complete rest, doing NO ACTIVITY AT ALL!
| BMR Formula |
|---|
| Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) – ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) – ( 6.8 x age in year ) |
Once you have a number, you have to the incorporate your daily activity, because like I said, the BMR is if you did nothing all day but lay down…so now you have to multiply your BMR by which ever of the following apply to you:
- If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
- If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
- If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
- If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
- If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
So now that you figured out how many calories you burn, its simple eat more/less depending whether you want to gain weight or lose weight…a good number to use is 500 calories less or more than what you are burning, so it works out to approximately 1LB per week! SO cut out that Big Mac, and their you go, you’re down a pound-a-week
