Hello all. I'm trying to lose weight. By the end of this summer. Unsuccessful so far I guess. I still have too much of body fat and as a result, my abs are not visible. I've played ignorance when friends told me that I need to consider how much calories I eat per day and start to count them. I told them that I won't do that because I don't need that. Well, I guess I need to do just that now. My weight loss stalled. My weight is the same for more than 2 weeks now. I am frustrated. So how many calories should I eat to lose weight again? I've calculated my basal metabolic rate to be about 2300 calories per day (on my regular day, not on my exercise day. On my exercise day my BMR is still 2300 calories plus the 500 calories I burn during exercise - jogging, so my bmr calories consumption for that day would be about 2800 calories). So to lose weight efficiently I need to eat about 20% of calories less. For my regular day that means 1860 calories and for my exercise day that means about 2240 calories. I've found this article explaining how many calories should i eat to lose weight but the tool provided says I need to eat 1400 calories per day to lose weight in decent time. I think that is way too low caloric intake. I tried to eat that little calories and was really hungry trough out the day. I also felt very power-less and my overall feeling was bad. So I should eat about 1900-2200 calories per day to lose weight. I will try this diet and see how it goes. If I will not get any results I will come back and post an update. I hope I will not break my metabolism with this caloric intake. But 1900 calories should be enough. I hope I lose that extra weight by the end of September. Oh btw, my current weight is 102kg. I am 188 cm tall and age 32. My BMI is well over "normal" zone and my body fat is more than 20% at this time. I need to lose some weight so my body fat would drop to 15%. At 15% abs are visible. Wish me luck with my lose weight plan!

I found this post because I'm having the same problem - I'm still really hungry throughout the day if I try to reduce my calories. I don't know if you resolved this, but I started increasing my protein intake, so I'd feel fuller throughout the day - protein shakes, Greek yogurt and lean meats.
Yours,

This is a reply to # 2,094,958May I kindly suggest that instead of counting calories, try eating low density caloric foods. For example, you can eat all the cucumbers you want and you will lose weight.
It is hard to just count calories.
I have a woman's diet that worked well on my husband too if you want. I got it at http://womens-weightloss.com
By the way, congratulations on your great workouts.- Re: how many calories should i eat t... greenfall

I've never been really overweight myself, but I've always had that stubborn layer of fat around the belly. Never bother to count calories cause it made me more mental than anything. Things changed when I finally changed the way I was eating... yes, diet does count for 75%. By switching to whole, natural, unprocessed foods instead of the packaged, processed, convenient & fast foods (loaded with fillers, dyes, chemicals, etc.), the abs started to reveal themselves slowly. Of course, I still have weekly cheat meals. The other 25% (exercise), I went from useless cardio like jogging and time/money wasting gyms to working out at home, doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
I don't know what your diet is like, but maybe that's the culprit and not just caloric intake? As an example, a starbucks frappuccino basically has an entire day's worth of calories. Start eating more protein, that fills you up and keeps you from feeling hungry all the time. Processed carbs are the worst, it spikes your blood sugar and makes you want to keep eating. If you're looking to burn fat, your exercise intensity needs to be ratcheted up a bit. Sprint instead of jog, do strength training, lift weights to build muscle. Here's something I tried:FatLoss123. Basically, I got sick and tired and made wholesale lifestyle changes, then the fat burned off gradually and easily.

This is a reply to # 2,094,958To lose weight you must consume less than you are burning to create a deficit. The easiest way to do this is to count your calories and track your exercise and compare the two at the end of the day. Adjust your intake as needed!
Best of luck. Hope this helps.

This is a reply to # 2,094,958Hi there, you may find the below blog useful, it has easy tips on how you can start losing weight today:
1. Avoid “white” food. This includes white breads, pastas, many cereal products, and even cracker-type snacks. Think about some other white things too like flour, potato products, rice, and even processed milk and cheese products. Some white foods that are OK for you to eat are cauliflowers, fish, and chicken.
2. Ditch the sodas and other drinks that have calories, sugar, or even artificial sweeteners. I don’t want you to drink much coffee either. Creamer? No. It’s white, isn’t it? I want you to take in at least half the weight of your body in ounces of water. This means that if you weigh 250 pounds, you should be consuming 125 ounces of water every day. This will be essential for getting the fat loss process in gear.
3. I’ve already taken you off white products, now you need to do away with wheat products. I don’t care if the package says “whole wheat” on it or not: it has to go. Check the ingredients of everything you’re eating and if it has wheat in it, don’t eat it.
These three rules are pretty easy to follow, aren’t they? Sure, you’ll have to adjust your habits a little bit, but it really won’t be very hard once you get started. If you consistently adhere to these tips to lose weight, you will be surprised at the progress you make in just a couple weeks.

I try to keep the meals at 500 calories per. Many times with cereal, blueberries, banana, milk for breakfast I can go under that number. Lunch probably 550 or so. Dinner is the tough one when losing weight...you got to put that clamps down on calories for that meal because that is the one next to bedtime. Daily for an adult has got to be around 1800 or less or you'll probably have to exercise more than you like. Constant weight loss is achieved, my experience, when caloric intake is lowered vs extensive exercise. Don't know why, don't ask questions, just know it to be true. I can work out like a banshee and weight loss is nominal but when I lower the calories, weight loss is every day on that scale. I see it, feel it, pants are looser, it's real to me. Weight training just firms up and makes you look better, eating fewer calories is what it's all about for me. And many others who've gone down that "exercise is #1" path. It ain't. Calories...concentrate on that.

This is a reply to # 2,094,958The point to lose weight is burning more calorie than you intaking, or intaking less calorie than you can burn. So the most important thing is just eating foods of less calorie. Do you know konjac noodles, which is also called shirataki noodles, konjac pasta? It's made from the root extract of a vegetable called Konjac. The Konjac plant is from China, which contains the "Glucomannan" fibers that have the ability to absorb liquids up to 200 times their size. For more than 2000 years, the inhabitants of the Far East have used the plant as an important part of their menu. The Chinese call those noodles MOYU or JURUO, while the Japanese call it KONIAKO or SHIRATKI. Regular pasta, in general, contains 300-500 calories per serving along with flour, gluten, and water with empty carbs, whereas in the same serving of SkinnyPasta, there is only 5 calories, no fat, no gluten, no sugar, no soy, no carbs, low protein and no cholesterol. Big difference! You can learn more here: http://moli.en.alibaba.com/product/60295281855-219021218/Certified_vegan_shirataki_noodles_balance_weight.html

This is a reply to # 2,094,958In order to shed one pound you must burn 3500 calories. Try having her eat 1200 calories a day--you need 1800 calories a day to maintain your weight.
1200 cals is the absolute minimum threshold you should never go below, but that is by NO MEANS good, healthy dieting advice. You might lose weight, but you'll lose mostly water and muscle, eventually slowing your metabolism. The other problem is that people with a weight issue will lose their freaking minds trying to eat 1200 cals/day. Eventually they'll just snap, eat a 5kg bag of peanut M&Ms (or whatever), and say to hell with this dieting thing!

However, this depends on numerous factors. These include age, height, current weight, activity levels, metabolic health and several others.- Re: how many calories should i eat t... #69242

This is a reply to # 2,368,025One must first establish bmr or basal metoblic rate: the rate we utilise energy at a coma state, then add on for the appropriate level of activity (sedentary or active, even very active) then calculate at 10-20% plussing or minusing this percent according to adding or gaining weight.
But first one needs to establish body fat percentage.
I usually do the equations for myself every few months to see if I'm eating appropriately fory weight, body fat % and activity level.
The math isn't too hard. There are online calculators that do it but I like to know the math myself.

The well proven fact is that - you can reduce calories by as much as 25% your body will simply adjust itself to use 25% less and simply go on about its normal life. You'd lose weight, mainly as water which comes out of muscle and vital organs, some fat, and when your body catches up to the new calorie intake it will slowly rebuild the fat and leave the muscle and other parts still sitting at the lower level.
AKA partial eating - very damaging.
If you revert back to the old diet, it will rebuild the muscle and other tissue and add a bit to the fat as well. You'd end up where you were with a little bit more fat.
There is only about 99% proof of this happening with about a billion as the sample size.
If you drop to 0 calorie intake (AKA a Fast) this doesn't happen. To your evolutionary body over millennia its a signal to run everywhere and find something to kill and eat. AKA the hunter in you is awakened. You get 4 days of that. Then over the next 9 days your body gradually slides back to the normal BMR because its now in gather mode.
Dr Fung - Intensive dietary management is his web site/blog is the champion of this method with 2200+ diabetics he has cured.
Of Diabetes have you heard "the disease never sleeps". Well I know when it does sleep, when you don't eat. You fast, and you starve the disease, as well as cholesterol, and cardio vascular disease and everything else.
Thanks.
Srinath.
