Calories You Need To Your weight
In order for your weight to stay the same, the energy (or calories) you consume should equal the energy (or calories) you expend. In most cases, it’s really a simple matter of energy balance: “Calories In” must equal “Calories Out.” “Calories In” includes what we eat and drink. “Calories Out” includes our resting metabolic rate, thermic effect of food, and physical activity. Your personal calorie requirement depends on these three factors.
Calculate Your Total Calorie Needs :
There are many equations to estimate your total calorie needs based on your RMR and level of physical activity (NOTE: the thermic effect of food is usually not accounted for since its role is so minor). It is important to realize that all these equations are just estimates. You may need more or less depending on genetic differences in RMR and your body composition. Consult a qualified health professional for more information about your personal calorie needs.
Step 1: Estimate RMR
Men Healthy body weight x 11 calories
Women Healthy body weight x 10 calories
Step 2: Multiply RMR by Activity Factor
