A pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories. That means you have to burn 500 calories more than you consume.
Your caloric needs depend on the following factors: height, weight, age, and level of exercise.
To calculate you caloric needs, use the following equation (Harris Benedict Formula):
Then multiply by your exercise level:
*Sedentary. Little to no regular exercise. Multiply by 1.2
*Mild activity level: Intensive exercise for at least 20 minutes 1 to 3 times per week. Multiply by 1.375
*Moderate activity level: Intensive exercise for at least 30 to 60 minutes 3 to 4 times per week. Multiply by 1.55
*Heavy or (Labor-intensive) activity level: Intensive exercise for 60 minutes or greater 5 to 7 days per week. Multiply by 1.7
*Extreme level: Exceedingly active and/or very demanding activities. Multiply by 1.9
Don't forget: 1 inch = 2.54 cm and 1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs.
