| Basal Metabolic Rate | |
| A. Requirements to maintain current weight | |
| Calories | cal |
| Carbohydrates (55%) | cal = gm |
| Proteins (15%) | cal = gm |
| Fats (30%) | cal = gm |
| B. Requirements to lose weight by per week * | |
| Calories | cal |
| Carbohydrates (55%) | cal = gm |
| Proteins (15%) | cal = gm |
| Fats (30%) | cal = gm |
| C. Requirements to gain weight by per week | |
| Calories | cal |
| Carbohydrates (55%) | cal = gm |
| Proteins (15%) | cal = gm |
| Fats (30%) | cal = gm |
Here's the deal: To lose weight, 500 calories are subtracted per day for each pound you want to lose every week. To gain weight, 500 calories are added per day for each pound you want to gain every week. However, total calorie levels less then 1200 calories are not recommended and weight loss of more 2 pounds per week is also not recommended. For a more balanced approach to a 1 pound per week weight loss, increase your activity. Decrease calorie intake by 250 calories per day and exercising to expend (use up) the other 250 calories. This approach prevents a decrease in your metabolic rate and promotes increased lean muscle mass. |
