Whats the equation to find out how many calories you need per day?
Step 1: Calculate your daily calorie intake with the following equation. Active males can determine the number of calories needed to maintain body weight by multiplying their weight in pounds by 15, while active females should multiply their weight by 12. Inactive males should calculate daily caloric intake by multiplying their body weight by 13, and inactive females should multiply their weight by 10. Step 2: Determine how many of your calories should be derived from fat. Use the number of calories determined through the first equation and multiply the number by .30, or 30 percent for the number of fat calories you need daily. Step 3: Figure the number of grams that constitute the number of fat calories needed each day to maintain body weight by dividing the number of fat calories by nine. The resulting number is the amount of fat grams you should take in daily. Step 4: Lose one pound per week by creating a calorie deficit of 500 calories daily. For example, if your body requires 2,00
