What you need to know:
If you already know how many calories you should consume every day then that is great. If not you need to learn what your BMR is. Your BMR is simply the amount of calories you need to consume to maintain a healthy state of being to keep your body functioning normally. For example: if your BMR requires you to consume 1500 calories a day, then you need to consume that amount of calories to keep your body functioning normally.
So what happens if you choose to consume fewer calories than your required BMR? Your metabolism will begin to decrease to compensate for the inadequate supply of nutrients to the body. In other words, your body will start storing food…you know like a bear in the winter.
Here is the formula:
1.4 x 24 x body weight in lbs x 0.45 = BMR
Please note this formula calculates only what you need to consume to stay healthy, when you add workouts to this formula you must increase your calorie intake to compensate for the amount of calories that you are burning.
