Please Help. How Many Calories Should I Eat In A Day To Lose Weight?
What has worked for you? I am 255 pounds 
and 5′0. I am trying to cut calories and eat less to lose weight but how many calories should i eat in a day to lose weight. I dont want to cut my calories to much that i get weak, but i want to cut them enough where i will actually lose weight.
The reason underlying that argument was that even though you are diminishing your calories while training aerobically, it was proven that the amount of calories burnt to be comparatively small. For instance when you’re jogging for 30 minutes an approximate of 200-300 calories are burnt depending on you age, body weight and other considerations. Comparing it to actual food consumed that amount you burned is equivalent to a large apple and banana, but what if you consumed Big Mac with 600 calories? Then you can compare how relatively small that amount is.
It?s not that I?m disregarding the benefits that can be derived from aerobic exercises are of no value. Since it has been established that it reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, puts a stop to the inception of diabetes, prevents a number of cancers and many other advantage. But leaving the body fat loss to aerobic exercise alone is not highly recommended. Science again has proven this. It isn’t only due to the small amount of calories burned but also because of the possible loss of muscle mass. Heavy aerobic exercise intensifies the probability of burning muscle which is additionally heightened when coupling aerobic exercise with a decrease in calorie diet. But if one wants an effective exercise prescription, they must settle for weight training or resistance training or strength training.
It is but usual for some women to hesitate in growing muscles because of the fact that they may appear to be masculine while men eventually turn to anabolics. Leaning muscles is definitely not easy but losing body fat is way attainable. Women appearing on magazines with firm muscles settle for an extremely tough diet and strength program and some even use the prohibited steroid: testosterone. If one intends to lose body fat and more particularly keep it off forever they should engage in muscle building exercises. These activities allow your body to burn more calories, so that less extra calories stay on to be stored. Muscles being vital factors in the body’s furnace, meaning the more muscles one has the more furnace they have that would function as a burning mechanism for energy or food.
This depends.
The national “average” for a regular day is 2000, which is why every one is guessing a little bit below 2K. However, this really depends on many factors such as metabolism, daily activity, gender, and age. Some one who doesn’t know you can’t say how much you need to eat, because it all depends on to many things.
For example: During my sports season (I run Cross Country) I have to eat between 3000 and 4000 calories a day just to keep healthy and not faint from malnutrition, but during off season my regular intake (not counting any weight loss goals) should be around 1800.
In other words, anything you hear online is going to be skewed to the “average” of people. If you are a healthy, active, teen that number will be a lot higher then if you’re a 40 year old couch potato.
BUT, Going off of “average”, between 1700 and 1900, like everyone else said.
only cut out useless calories like soda and crap like that. eat a lot of fiber, exercise, and eat foods that are high in in % of daily vitamins. drink alot of water and go outside in the sun.
deven, acai berry juice and pills do not help you lose weight. its a scam and you can get ur omega 3’s and antioxidants from other foods that have more.
Base your diet mainly on a 2,000 calorie-a-day diet.
!
You can lessen it if you wish, but that’s the building block. Range it to your weight and height. Just be sure not to go over 2,000.
It’s said, though, that a girl should have AT LEAST 1,500, and a boy should have 1,800.
Anything that you feel comfortable with.
Hope I helped, hun
I am sending you the web address of a great site that figures out how much you need to eat daily to lose weight. The site is free.
1500 is a good amount to lose weight. That’s a healthy way to do it.
1000-2000calories, so about 1500. The calories for someone not trying to lose weight is about 2500
1200-1400 with 30 minutes of excercise a day!
2143 calories each day
id say like maybe somewhere between 1400 and 1800 calories a day. you should try Weight Watchers. it really works good.
I would say 1500-1600
