In order to start a diet plan where you lower the amount of calories you eat each day, you need to know how many calories your body burns just doing what you normally do. After all, if you lower your caloric intake to a
level that is still above how many calories your body burns, you will still not lose any weight.
To calculate how many calories your body burns on a daily basis, there is a handy formula you should look into. It’s known as theHarris-Benedict formula.
Harris-Benedict formula
By using data about how old you are, your sex, your weight, and how active you are each day, the formula can determine the amount of calories you burn on an average day. This number is known as your Basal Metabolic Rate and is the
most important number you can know when trying to lose weight using a diet based on calorie counting. While you could input the data into the formula yourself, there are a couple of easier tools that you should check out. The first is a chart that was designed by for the MyPyramid.gov website sponsored by the US government.
You can find the chart here:
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/discretionary_calori es_amount_print.html . While it provides some good data, it is rough and there are better options out there. A better, more personalized, option in addition to the above chart is a Basal Metabolic Rate calculator where you enter in your own unique data. These calculators are perfectly safe and easy to use. In about two or three minutes, you’ll be well on your way to knowing exactly how many calories your body burns on the average day. Of all of the calorie calculators online, the best is one provided at this website: http://www.stevenscreek.com/goodies/calories.shtml . It gives a very precise breakdown of how many calories you burn both during activities and resting. Other good calorie calculators include the one at the Mayo Clinic website (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/caloriecalculator/NU00598) and one found on About.com’s Calorie Count Plus website
(http://caloriecount.about.com/).
