Calculate your daily Calorie Needs There are many formulas you can use online to determine your calorie intake. At the end of the day a calorie is not just a calorie. Each individual will process food differently and absorb different amounts of the calories they consume. So no matter how accurate a formula is the only way youll know if a calorie intake suits your goals is through experimentation. The formula given in the graphic is a very rough estimation. However I do like it because it takes into account your activity levels and your goals. After using the formula and finding out your target calorie intake test it out for 1-2 weeks and monitor how your body responds. For example if your goal is fat loss after 1-2 weeks of testing out your calorie intake you notice that the scale doesnt move. Subtract the number by 150 calories and then test it out for another week or two. Be patient its not a race. It took me a few attempts to finally find my maintenance calories. I used an accurate calculator online to find my maintenance intake but I lost weight after two weeks. So I then increased the amount by 150 and managed to maintain the weight I was at. Trial and error is the best way. Our bodies are complex and not just about the numbers. Monitor how you look and feel after sticking with a certain calorie intake and then adjust accordingly if need be.
