What's
your Calorie Intake for Weight Loss?
Many people will use a weight loss calculator, or sometimes
referred to as a calorie intake calculator, to find out what their
daily calories should be. To determine what your daily calorie intake
should be in order to start
losing weight, you will need to know and understand your basal
metabolic rate. BMR is the amount of calories you
would burn while at rest.
This calculator starts with the BMR calculation and then will show you
your suggested daily calorie intake in order to maintain your weight
and your calorie intake for weight loss.
Additionally, you will need to determine what your calorie intake
should be in order to maintain your current weight and to create a
calorie deficit in order to lose weight. For this, you need
to factor in an activity level. For instance, if you are more
active, you will need to consume more calories in order to sustain your
weight.
| Note:
To use this weight loss calculator, you must be at least 20
years old.

intake for your age and gender. |
Lastly,
in order to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit,
in other words reduce your daily calorie intake or increase your daily
activity to burn more calories - or do both.
The formula for
losing weight is really very simple. Your calorie intake
must be less than your calories burned in order to lose weight.
So what's your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)? How many calories
do
you need to eat to
maintain your current weight? What should your daily calorie
intake be for weight loss?
You can find all your answers by using this interactive weight loss
calculator.
