Calories needed per day to lose weight   To determine the number of calories needed to lose weight we must first try to calculate the calories required by the body. Only then is it possible to slowly lower the calories needed by the body until we are in a negative energy balance. The gradual reduction in calories required encourages the body to slowly use up fat stores rather than burning up protein from muscle - this is what often happens when calories are cut too quickly and results in a lowered metabolism! Feed the Muscle is all about BUILDING Your Metabolism An increased metabolic rate means you can potentially: 1. Exercise less 2. Enjoy your favorite foods 3. Still Enjoy social meets 4. Spend less on low-fat foods ..and STILL Lose Fat Weight! Learn more about Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Here! There are several accurate formulas to choose from. We will show the Schofield equation below. Equations for estimating basal metabolic rate (BMR) for adult men and women. Men: 10 - 17 years   BMR = 17.7 x W + 657     SEE = 105 18 - 29 years   BMR = 15.1 x W + 692     SEE = 156 30 - 59 years   BMR = 11.5 x W + 873     SEE = 167   Women:   10 - 17 years   BMR = 13.4 x W + 692     SEE = 112 18 - 29 years   BMR = 14.8 x W + 487     SEE = 120 30 - 59 years   BMR =   8.3 x W + 846     SEE = 112   Key: W = Body weight in Kilograms - convert body weight here! SEE = Standard error of estimation   The SEE value means the calculated BMR could be this number of calories out, in other words either too many or too little. As an example, if you are very muscular and possess more lean weight than an average person of the same height and weight, then you may have to add the SEE value to the BMR calculated. The simple reason is more lean weight means more calories needed! An example calculation of calories needed for a woman aged 30 years and weighing 70 kilograms (154 pounds)... 30 - 59 years   BMR =   8.3 x W + 846     SEE = 112   BMR = 8.3 x 70 + 846   BMR = 1427 calories needed for basal metabolic rate!   Now remember the SSE, this is 112. So if the woman is about average body fat percentage then we could say this value is about right. However, look at her age!   She is at the lower end of the scale (30 - 59 years) for this reason we may have to add the SEE value to the calculation simply because younger people generally need more calories. Therefore the real BMR for this woman is more likely to be around 1539! The BMR is only part of the total calories needed for each day. We now need to work out the calories required for all activity levels. Click here to find your Physical Activity Ratio!

The problem is dieting actually slows the metabolism as the body needs to burn up muscles to make up for the very low calorie intakes.   As Tom Venuto states in his brilliant, New Book, the solution is to Burn the Fat Off, rather than attempting to starve it!   Read more about Burning the Fat & Feeding the Muscle - Click Here!       The Schofield equation above was taken from HMSO (1991) - Report on health and social subjects 41, dietary reference values for food, energy and nutrients for the United Kingdom.   * Always seek approval from a qualified dietician before introducing new foods or starting any new diet.
