Fitness Tip
How many calories can I eat without gaining weight?
Heres a simple formula:
1. Divide your weight in pounds by 2.2
2. Multiply by 24 (This give you the number of calories you
need to just be alive)
3. Factor in activiy calories by multiplying number 2 (above) by 1.6
This is how many calories you can eat per day without
gaining weight.
To lose those extra pounds,
you'll have to burn more calories than you eat,
either by exercising more or eating less.
Now the question might be;
Do we count everything we consume?
Also do we carry a calorie counter on our person.
Mine works out like this;
153/2.2=69.45
69.45 x 24=1669.09
1669.09 x 1.6= 2670.59 calories/per day
So I must either burn more calories by exercising or eat less than 2670.59 without gaining an weight.
"Just Do It" even if it's a little...every little bit helps in our fight to regain our physcial Fitness!
