Minimum calories needed per day

It is a fact that you have to lose calories to reduce weight and get back in shape. This simply does not mean that you do not need any calories to survive. A minimum count is needed to be physically active and survive the day without any problems. This minimum calorie count is termed as BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate). It depends on the following components.

1. Height and Gender

The minimum calorie count depends on the height of an individual. People who are taller consume more calories for daily survival. Similarly, women need lesser calories than men.

2. Weight and Age

If you have a high weight count, you would have to consume more calories to, the retain it. On the other hand, if you want to reduce the weight, the calorie count would go down as well. Similarly, older people require lesser calories to survive the day as they have lesser physical strength.

3. Sedentary Activity

You need a higher calorie count if you are physically active. For instance, someone who works out lightly would not need the same calorie count as a fitness expert who goes to the gym seven days a week. To determine the minimum calorie count you need for each day, you should be sure about the sedentary level.

Counting the macros

This calculator would identify the calories you can have with each meal. You can use the calorie count for each meal to determine the count of carbs, fats and proteins. Being aware of the macros you can consume during the day is a more productive alternative than simply using the calorie count as a benchmark
