Find out how many calories you need for weight loss
Our previous posts have your daily burn and exercise burns so you can work out your calories burnt from activity.(this will help you!)
1) How many calories do you personally need to consume for weight loss or gain.
By working our how many calories you naturally burn throughout your day, you can workout how many you’ll need to consume, so..
Here’s a snippet of that post:
Hourly activity (hourly Burn= HB) x 12 = How much you burn off during your day (Daily Burn=DB)
3) How do these numbers help me to find out my personal calories consumed?
By finding out your DB you are able to find your calories to consume for weight loss. remember, having a negative number leads to weight loss, so a positive one leads to weight gain.
E.G DB= 1600, I need to eat 1600 calories Or less to lose weight.
Or add a 100 calorie workout to your daily routine, this means you’ll have -100 calories for that day!
Here’s a graph explaining calories consumed and calories burned in reference to weight loss:
The first chart shows weight gain:
The chart shows even with exercise if your total number is a positive you WILL put on weight, with exercise or without it.
The last person in the first chart shows a sedentary lifestyle with a 10-minute regime of exercise this person only consumes 1600 calories of healthy food, exercises and will still put on 4lbs a month!
The last chart shows weight loss:
The last on the chart shows even without exercise, if you have a negative total, you will lose weight.
The last person was eating a small amount of health food but leading an active daily life style and doesn’t need to add exercise to their day.
