Your Resting Metabolic Rate is the base number for calories you burn doing nothing. In other words, it is the number calories you burn while at rest, or the number of calories needed just be alive. If you want to lose weight, then your rmr is the ideal calorie calculator for weight loss.
How Many Calories To Lose Weight – It Starts With Your RMR
In my case as a 46 year old man, who weighs 165lbs and is 5ft 10 inches tall , my RMR is around 1650 calories when I use an RMR Calculator. To make things a little easier, I am going to use the anything goes diet RMR chart. The table below will also give you a good idea of the ranges. As you can see, the figure in Yellow shows my mean at around 1800 calories a day. This would be a good figure to aim for. In my case I use 1700, again because I am using my best guess approach
As A Guide, if you start with the figure in yellow, this is your daily calorie limit. So to answer the question how many calories to lose weight ? the answer is below the yellow number !
