Calorie and Body Weight Basics


Calories Are

• units of energy your body uses to fuel its functions and activities
• created from proteins, fats and carbohydrates found in our foods and beverages
• necessary for basic body functions like keeping the heart, brain and lungs functioning (also know as basal metabolism)
• essential to fuel activity - from the smallest hand gesture to a 5-mile run

The number of calories we need each day depends on how much we weight, how much muscle mass we have and how active we are.

• if you consume more calories than your body needs, those extra calories will be stored as fat.
• if you consume less calories than your body needs, your previously stored calories (fat) will be used to supply additional energy

A Pound = Approximately 3,500 Calories

To Lose Weight

• by cutting down 500 calories per day, you will cut a total of 3500 calories per week - resulting in the loss of 1 pound of body fat. but never consume fewer than 1,200 calories per day. 
• if you want to lose more than 1 pound a week, you will need to either reduce your calorie intake further, or increase the amount of calories you burn with exercise.

To Maintain Weight

• Balance calories from food and beverages with calories expended.

If you are a woman:

• You will need about 12 calories for every pound of body weight (A 150lb woman needs about 1,800 calories a day)

If you are a man:

• You will need about 14 calories for every pound of body weight. (A 200lb man needs about 2,800 calories a day)
