Keeping to this one property, you'll always have success
with weight loss. However, the question still remains: How many calories can I eat and still lose weight? This question is very important
because everyone's body is different and therefore, every answer will be
different for each individual.
There is a fairly common formula that leads us to the answer
of this question. You will want to analyze the amount of activity you are
doing. Do you have a work out schedule? Do you have a job that
requires you to be on your feet all day long? Once you have these
answered, you take your current weight and do a little bit of math. Lets
assume you are in your 30's and weigh 180 pounds. You currently have a
fairly active lifestyle, working out three times a week with a moderately
active job. If this is the case, you'll take your weight of 180 and
multiply it by a base rate of 12. 180x12=2160 calories. This
equation means that in order to maintain your current weight, while keeping
your current activity, you should consume 2160 calories a day.
A safe rate of weight loss is to lose one pound a
week. A total of 3500 calories equals one pound. Therefore, you
must burn or not consume this amount of calories. With this in mind,
you'll want to reduce your calorie intake daily by 500 calories (or burning 500
more calories than you normally would in your work out regimen). If we
reference our current equation we find that
180x12=2160 - 500= 1660 calories
We can conclude that in order to lose weight you would need
to consume a total of 1660 calories daily to lose one pound in a week.
While determining how many calories I can eat and still lose
weight, we must remember one key point about the base multiplier identified
above. If you have a larger work out regimen, or a more active job, this
number will be higher. Conversely, if you don't currently work out at all
and have a sedentary lifestyle, this base multiplier will be lower. Also
remember that not taking in enough calories can be detrimental to your weight
loss goals. If you are trying to speed up the losing process, food deprivation
isn't the way to go.
All in all, the simple solution is to take in less calories
than you're working out with your body. So back to answer our initial
question -- How many calories can I eat and still lose weight?
Analyze your activity, know your current weight and do the math. It is
just that simple!
