Lose Weight With Calorie Counting

By Tab Winner


The easiest way to lose weight or at least control weight is to do it the old fashioned way and that is by calorie counting. If you are a beginner why not start by doing this and not spending money on diets and tools that you don't know you can stick to.

If you are in a position to stick with simple calorie counting you are able to start the next thing a real diet program. When you are counting calories constantly you'll start remembering the calories in each and every food you already eat which makes it almost automated. The proceeding task from here is to look for the quantity of calories you need to be eating every day.

This is a very broad number so I would take the number from this formula and undershoot it to make sure you are going to lose weight. The great thing about figuring out this number is that you will know how much to eat if you work an office job all day and don't have time to work out all the time. This is just one way to calculate the BMR which is your Base Metabolic Rate.

BMR =For Men: 66 + (6.23 x your weight(lbs)) + (12.7 x height(inches)) - (6.8 x age(yrs))

BMR =For Women: 655 + (4.35 x weight(lbs)) + (4.7 x height(inches)) - (4.7 x age(yrs))

The BMR is the base to your end calculation which is to figur how many calories you need based on your lifestyle. You can do this by simply taking your BMR and times it by 1.2 (sedentary - no exercise), 1.375 (exercise 1-3X), 1.55 (exercise 3-5X), 1.725 (6-7X). These numbers are based on how many times you workout in a week.

So putting it altogether you need to simply count calories everyday to shed weight. Calories in and calories out. In the event you create a deficit you'll shed weight, just don't need to create a large deficit. For example I ought to eat 3000 calories with my lifestyle, I wouldn't reduce anymore then to 2500 calories every day. After a while you're going to get accustomed to this and everything is going to be automated. Meaning you will not have to find information about the calories inside a food or meal you'll just realize it from experience. Best of luck for you!
