Teacher's Pet Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 How do I figure out the proper amount of calories I need to take in per day and still lose weight? I'd need to know the # in conjuction with light/moderate exercise, and NO exercise... Thanks! -tp 1,170 today.
Star Gazer Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Go here: http://www.reply42.com/metabolism/ Once you put in the info, it will tell you the lowest you should go in calories per day. I also like this site: http://www.shapefit.com/basal-metabolic-rate.html Keep in mind that there are 3500 calories in a pound of stored body fat. If you create a 3500-calorie deficit in a week through diet, exercise or a combination of both, you will lose one pound.
