How Many Calories?
As described in My Weight Loss Plan, the only way to lose weight is to reduce calories. How many calories do I need to consume to lose weight? A better question is “how many calories do I need to survive?” The answer to the first question is obviously a lower number than the answer to the second question.
For example, my body will consume 1,500 calories per day, just by being alive, if I restrict my caloric intake to 1,300 calories per day, I will lose weight.
Tomorrow I will discuss a cool way to do the math: the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
