BMR Rate (Basic Metabolic Rate)
There is a special formula, which calculates your Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR). It tells you how much energy (calories) your body needs to function routinely.
Energy requirements:
The average energy requirement for men is 2,500kcals and for women
1,900kcals.
However your energy requirement is also affected by a number of
factors including:
your weight (larger bodies need more energy),
our activity
level (the more active you are the more energy you burn)
your age (the
older you are the less energy you burn).
Here's one fact you need to know:
Burn 3,500 Calories more than you consume and you will lose 1 pound of fat or total caloric deficit of 3,500 calories results in a 1 pound weight loss.
If you burn 500 calories more than you consume a day through exercise or consume 500 Calories less than your daily caloric requirement, you will lose 1 pound of weight a week i.e 500 X 7 = 3,500
