You need to calculate your daily calorie intake if you want to lose weight or just to keep it. The calories you spend every day depends on your current weight and your activity level.
Fill your data in the calculator below, be sure to play with different activity levels – this will show you how much you can eat if you exercise more.
One more thing, write down your calories after every meal and track how many calories you eat per day. Here is The CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter 2009
***To calculate amount of calories needed for average women for the daily intake please use the tool below:
Average Daily Calorie Intake for Women
For example if I enter in the calculator:
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 112 lbs
Age: 33
Activity: Sedentary
Than my daily calorie intake to maintain my weight is almost 1600.
But if I change Sedentary to Moderate than my daily intake could be almost 1900 calories.
This shows that if you exercise you can have a piece of cake or a normal size meal MORE and you will not gain weight !!!
BUT if you want to lose weight than you just need slightly calorie decrease and combined with exercises this cause healthy weight decrease. It is very simple.
You don’t need to starve, just skip one third of your every meal, exercise 3-4 times per week and the miracle will happen like a breeze.
