Question

Answer 1

2000 is avg

Answer 2

In order to lose weight at a healthy rate you should try to eat 500 calories less per day than your normal diet and burn another 500 through exercise for a net calorie loss of 1000 calories per day. This should result in a weight loss of about 2 pounds a week for you. At your current weight I wouldn't recommend trying to lose anything more than that per week. You have to burn 3500 calories to burn 1 pound of fat, so if you do need to burn it faster you can adjust accordingly by eating less and/or exercising more.

Answer 3

so, you want to lose weight?but i think your weight is ideal for your height.but it's ok then..calories,well as i read somewhere(i dont remember) we need 2000 per day.but my lecturer (i think) said that 1200 is actually enough if you are a sedentary people.if you want to lose weight, you should make the output more than input.meaning, you should burn more than you take in.endurance exercise like walking,jogging,cycling or swimming burn a great amount of calories.so,try to avoid the lift and use the stairs as much as you can..that's all i can give..

Answer 4

At that height and weight it looks like you shouldnt need to lose weight! Are you sure you dont just need to tone up? Do some light weights - low weight, high reps to develop long lean muscle and your shape will change a little too.

Answer 5

well im not sure but you should do a self pace program
one thats right for your body say like in take 100 a day and burn half that or something, but your wieght isnt bad , but of corse i cant see how yours is carried on your body though, good luck.

Answer 6

you should burn more calories than you consume a day regardless....... but avg would probably be around 2,000

Answer 7

depends on height and weight

Answer 8

eat less and burn more..then you'll lose weight.
