Do you know how many calories you need a day to maintain your weight? To lose weight?

To find out the calories you need to just survive, you’ll need to know your Basal Metabolic Rate.

Women’s BMR formula:
655+(4.3 x weight in lbs) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

Men’s BMR formula:
66+(6.23 x weight in lbs) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

To find your Active Metabolic Rate, which is the amt. of calories you need to carry out your daily activities, calc the following:

Sedentary: BMRx1.2

Lightly Active: BMRx1.375

Moderately Active: BMRx1.55

Very Active: BMRx1.725

Extra Active: BMRx1.9

So what’s your BMR & AMR? Are you meeting, beating, or undereating?
