Although it may sound pretty tiresome .

Counting and cutting down on calories has helped lots of people shed unwanted pounds .

The fact of the matter is that you need to consume fewer calories than you burn if you want to lose weight , period , how fast that will happen depends on how much you reduce your calorie intake .

But it's not a one size fits all type of situation .

Your ideal calorie intake depends on your age , height size , lifestyle , gender and overall health .

At the same time , there are some general recommendations .

The 2015 to 2000 and 20 dietary guidelines for Americans advise men to consume 2500 calories a day .

While that number for women is 2000 little kids should take in about 1500 a day while adolescents require a lot more .

Especially boys .

For instance , an active and rapidly developing male teen from 16 to 18 years old needs roughly 3200 calories per day .

As people get older , they need fewer calories .

The for that is their metabolism slows down so they need less energy .

That's why women aged 19 to 25 need 2000 calories a day .

But that number drops to 1600 after they turn 51 years old .

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .

If you consume the same number of calories as you burn , you're in what's called caloric balance .

This way , your weight will remain stable and unchanging .

If you take in more calories than you burn , you're in caloric excess as a result , you put on weight and if you wanna lose weight , you need to create a calorie deficit .

That is , you should consume fewer calories than you burn .

And that's where the main problem lies .

Too many people get overly enthusiastic and start undereating .

But consuming only 800 or 1000 calories a day isn't enough to support your body mass during the weight loss process .

Not to mention you risk messing up your metabolism or even worse , seriously harming your health .

So how can you figure out the perfect daily calorie amount that will lead to shedding unwanted pounds without damaging your system ?

For one , you can use an online calorie calculator .

Any search engine will offer you a number of options to choose from or you can use the Harris Benedict equation .

First of all , you'll need to calculate your basic metabolic rate or BMR using the following formulas for women .

As for your go to free time activities , they include watching TV , reading perhaps strolling through the park or doing light household chores .

If that sounds like you , then your activity factor is 1.2 .

Light .

You also spend a lot of time sitting down .

You probably work in an office , but you get at least one hour of moderate activity or exercise in your schedule each day .

If so , your activity factor is 1.375 moderate .

You perform light physical or manual labor throughout the day .

You also get some intensive exercise that lasts no less than half an hour .

3 to 4 times a week might be jogging , cycling , swimming or playing active sports like basketball or tennis .

In this case , your activity factor is 1.55 very active .

This will be your level of activity if you exercise for no less than one hour , 5 to 7 times a week or perhaps your occupation demands a lot of physical labor .

For example , construction work , brick laying , carpentry , farming and so on .

If this is the case , your activity factor is 1.7 extreme .

There aren't that many people who have an extreme level of activity , but they do include , for instance , athletes with demanding and almost nonstop training sessions or people who have an extremely hard physical job such as steel workers or miners .

These people's activity level is 1.9 after you figured out your level of activity multiply your BMR by your activity factor , the number you get is the number of calories you need to consume every day to maintain your weight .

If you wanna lose weight , try to create a caloric deficit .

This will set the wheels in motion and exactly how big should this caloric deficit be that ?

Of course , depends on three things .

Number one , how much do you exercise per day ?

And in what way you expend calories all the time , but some activities burn way more calories than others .

Here are several examples of different activities and how many calories you burn , doing them for half an hour .

For the sake of calculation .

This is an approximation for a person weighing 100 and £25 .

Simply working on a computer burns 41 calories , weight lifting will burn 90 calories .

Half an hour of water aerobics , burns 100 and 20 calories .

Walking at a speed of 4.5 MPH will expend 100 and 50 calories .

Just swimming for half an hour , burns 100 and 80 calories running at a speed of six miles an hour , burns 300 calories .

And even when you're asleep , you burn about 19 calories every half hour .

Number two .

What's your diet like ?

If you follow a high protein diet , you burn more calories .

Surprisingly , your body needs to make more of an effort to digest and metabolize protein .

That's why it's a good idea to alter your diet instead of just eating less .

Number three .

What's your individual metabolism ?

Any calorie calculator , including the Harris Benedict equation is based on averages .

But you are you not some average or generalization , you can use these numbers at the beginning of your weight loss journey .

But later on , you need to adjust the system to your personal needs as your metabolic rate changes over time .

On average , experts recommend cutting down on 500 to 1000 calories a day to lose one or £2 of fat in a week .

But such a drastic reduction can seriously influence your ability to lose weight in the long run .

Those pounds you've shed with such difficulty and strict limitations will come right back as soon as you return to your previous calorie intake .

That's why you should take it slow and monitor every step you take , for example , at the end of a two week period , check how much weight you've gotten rid of .

If you're left dissatisfied with the rate of your weight loss , try to include more physical activity before you reduce the number of calories you consume after that , remove another 250 calories from your daily intake and test this approach for two more weeks .

There are also some tips on how to burn energy faster so that you can lose weight more efficiently , eat a breakfast full of protein and healthy fats , that'll keep you full for longer so that you don't feel the desire to snack throughout the day , have your meals at the same time .

This will help you burn calories .

More effectively includes slow burning calories in your diet .

High fiber carbohydrates found in quinoa buckwheat or beetroot and healthy fats and avocado fish and olive oil need more time to release energy .

So after eating them , you won't get hungry so quickly , consume more foods rich in fiber , vegetables , fruits and whole grains will do you right , change your manner of eating .

Try to rest between courses and eat slowly .

It usually takes your body 20 to 30 minutes to realize it's full .

Don't ban your favorite foods from your diet .

This will only lead to cravings .

Feel free to spoil yourself with a treat from time to time .

Just keep the portion small .

Make a shopping list that includes all the products you'll need for healthy meals and snacks and more importantly , stick to this list when you go grocery shopping .
