Women
655 + (4.35 x weight in pound) + (4.7x height in inches) –
(4.7 x age)
Example: A 47 year old woman, 5’7” and 150 pounds.
655 + (4.35 x 150) + (4.7 x 67) – (4.7 x 47)
655 + 652.5 + 314.9 - 220.9 =1401.5 BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
BMR X activity level
If no exercise BMR x 1.2
Lightly active BMR x 1.375
Moderately active BMR x 1.55
1401.5 x 1.2 = 1681.8
Total number of calories needed to maintain current weight.
One pound of fat = 3500 calories, by reducing this number by 500 calories a day will result in one pound lost a week.
To loose weight
16181.8 – 500 = 1181.8
The number of calories I can eat each day to loose one pound in one week.
Men:
66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches)-(6.8 x age)
For the few luck people out there who want to gain weight, you will need to add 500 more calories above your daily calories needed to maintain weight, to gain one pound a week.
