Find out your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)

BMR [kcal]
Body Weight [lb] x 15 + (moderate activity [mins/day] x 3.5)
Since you wish to lose weight, your target = BMR - 500 kcal

For instance, you weigh 140 lb and you perform 20 mins of moderate activity every day. BMR of this example = (140 x 15) + (20 x 3.5) = 2100 + 70 = 2170 kcal. BMR minus 500kcal; it would be 2170 - 500 = 1670 kcal. Therefore 1670 kcal is the target in this example to losing 1 lb per wee

hehehehehehehehe...... I really don't give a flip about my BMR. That's probably why I'm dealing w/sugar problems now

Thanks for the way to figure out I'm still a couch slug.

Well, the problem is the fact that my physical activity is almost zero. I do not eat that much and I have lost a lots of weight because I have stopped over eating, which seems like a good thing. However, physical activity is equally important as well.
