Estimate calories to easily lose weight

Determine ideal weight.

Convert weight in pounds to kilograms, by calculating your ideal weight and divide that by 2.2 = kg weight.
Kilogram weight X .9 ( females) and 1.0 (males) Kg X gender coefficient X 24 = caloric resting metabolic need.

Example; 140 lb woman determines her target weight at 125.125 is ideal weight, then divide that by 2.2 = 57kg ideal weight X .9(female) X 24hrs = approx. 1,231 calories at rest per day or per 24 hours to eventually reach that ideal weight of 125 from 140.

Sedentary lifestyle you may add in 10% more calories. Add in 20% more calories for light activity and lifestyle and 30% for active.

Remember one pound is 3,500 calories

The above woman at 140 pounds or 63.6 kg X .9 X 24 = 1,373.76 calories at rest to maintain the 140 pounds.

The above woman would have to reduce her daily calories by approximately 143 to lose one pound in about 3 weeks. If this same woman increases her activity per day to 350 calories she would burn a total of 2,450 at the end of the week. This amount (2,450) along with the 143 calorie ( about one can of soda) per day deficit would enable this woman to lose one pound in one week. She could expect to burn about 350 calories in about 45 minutes of brisk walking.

Very simply this woman would have to walk about 45 minutes per day and cut out 143 calories. She could expect to lose about 4 pounds per month. If she wanted to lose more she could reduce calories and/or increase her activity. It would be unwise for her to reduce her calories under 1,200 per day. Meeting nutritional and energy needs would be difficult under 1,200 calories per day for extended periods. You may want to supplement your diet with nutritionals such as All Day Energy Greens.
