How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?

FAQs about weight loss and diet
The answer is as individual as you are. Each person will have a different caloric intake total, each day of the week, to reach the required 3,500 calorie deficit to lose one pound of body fat. If you burn 500 more calories than you eat a day, for seven days, you will burn 3,500 calories. On a day that you burn 2,500 calories, you can eat up to 2,000 calories. On a day that you burn 2,800 calories, you can eat up to 2,300 calories. Each person will be different and each day will be different.

First you must estimate the minimal amount of calories you need for basic survival (resting metabolic rate or RMR). Simply take a healthy body weight that you feel comfortable at and multiply it by 10. Next add about 50% more calories for daily activity and 40% if it is mostly sedentary or 60% if it is more physically demanding. Then add another 400 calories for workout days of 40 minutes in duration and another 100 calories for every additional 10 minutes of exercise.

Ask Monica: How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

The ND Blog: Notes from the Nutritionista by Monica Reinagel
Many experts like to reduce this question into a simple mathematic equation, namely, that 3500 calories equals one pound. Therefore, cutting 500 Calories (kcal) per day will equal one pound of weight loss per week (500 Calories x 7 days = 3500 Calories, or 1 pound). Using Nutrition Data's Daily Needs Calculator, I figure that you would need 2500 Calories per day to maintain your current weight.

FAQs - Nutrigenesis Approach - Health supplements and produc...
Answer: You do not have to give up foods you enjoy, as long as you can manage to cut down the amount of foods you eat to the point that you expend more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. But you will not lose the weight as easily as someone who is willing to eat an abundance of fresh, live whole fruits and vegetables. It is important to enjoy life and enjoy indulgence/comfort foods in moderation, and to make responsible choices.

How do I cut back on my calories to lose weight?

Weight - One Stop Health Advice :: AcuMedic
General guidelines suggest that to lose weight safely, lose 1/2 to 1 pound per week. One pound of fat has 3,500 calories. If you cut back by 500 calories per day, you can lose one pound of fat in one week. In addition to cutting calories, burn more calories each day with exercise. For example, by cutting back on 300 calories of food each day, and burning an extra 200 calories with aerobic exercise, you could expect to lose about a pound a week.

Do the calories saved by using these products really help people lose weight?

International Sweeteners Association - Frequently Asked Ques...
Calories count. To lose weight, a person has to eat fewer calories than his/her body burns. And low-calorie sweeteners reduce calorie intake. Replacing 4 tsp of sugar per day with a sweetener in tea and coffee for example saves on average an amount of energy per year equal to 3kg of fat tissue. Studies have shown that a small reduction in body weight can substantially reduce the risk of diabetes type 2, coronary heart disease, and cancer.
