How Many Calories Should I Eat to Lose Weight?
There are many formulas that calculate how many calories you need to lose weight. Here is a quick and easy way to find out approximately how many calories you should eat to lose weight.
To Lose Weight: You need to eat fewer calories than you currently do. For example, to lose 1 pound per week you need to reduce your calories by 500 per day.
That’s because 3,500 calories (500 calories x 7 days) equals 1 pound of body fat. Losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is considered a healthy rate of weight loss.
If that’s too much calculating for you, just consume fewer calories than you do now. Most women will lose weight if they eat 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day and most men will lose weight if they eat between 1,600 to 1,800 calories per day.
