Losing weight help
lose weight fastWe get weight by eating extra calories and incorrect amount of macronutrients. There are two ways by which we can lose weight.
* Eating less
* Exercising more
You know
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories
1 pound of fat = 454 gram
So 1 pound of fat = 9*454 = 4086 calories
Note: Our body fat contains around 3500 calories, as 10% of it is water.
So in order to lose a pound of fat (4086) in 2 weeks, we need to decrease calories consumption by 290 per day as 4096/14=290(approx)
15 minute of good exercise will help you in losing around 100 calories. So in order to lose 1 pound of fat in two weeks, we need to exercise for around 45 minutes (290 calories) if we do not want to make any changing in our eating habit. So just take care of the amount of calories in the food you take. The best idea for losing weight will be by cutting down the junk food with exercising. So greatest way to lose weight is a mixture of diet and exercise as exercise builds muscles, and bigger muscles burn more fat.

It depends on your personality and also how muchclaorie you intake. The amount of calories your body needs in a day is different for each person. The FDA bases Daily Reference Values on a 2,000 calorie diet. It’s important, however, that you know your own calorie needs since the Daily Values for energy-producing nutrients, such as fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, are based on recommended percentages of a total day’s caloric intake. For example, it is recommended that no more than 30 percent of your daily calories comes from fat. Since there are 9 calories per gram of fat, this means you should have no more than 600 calories from fat daily and no more than 65 grams of fat. Not everyone needs 2,000 calories a day, however, and some people may need more than that. The amount of calories you need daily is influenced by your body size, age, height, weight, activity level, and metabolism.
Recommended Energy Intake
Category Age Calories Per Day

Children
4-6 ------------------------------... 1800 ------------------------------
7-10--------------------------... 2000 ------------------------------
Males
11-14-------------------------... 2500 ------------------------------...
15-18-------------------------... 3000 ------------------------------
19-24 ------------- 2700 --------- 3000 -------------- 3600---------

51+ ------------------------------... 1900
Pregnant women in their second and third trimesters should add 300 calories to their recommended intake and nursing mothers should add 500 calories.
To determine what your activity level is, consider some of the following activities. Very light activities include driving, typing, painting, laboratory work, ironing, sewing, cooking, playing cards, or other seated or standing activities. Light activities include housecleaning, child care, garage work, electrical trade work, carpentry, restaurant work, golfing, sailing, or walking on a level surface at a rate of 2.5-3 miles per hour. Moderate activities include weeding, hoeing, carrying a load, cycling, skiing, tennis, dancing, or walking at a rate of 3.5-4 miles per hour. Heavy activities include heavy manual digging, tree felling, basketball, climbing, football, soccer, or carrying a load uphill

Your output should match your intake, but if you can do 3500 calories burned a day, that would be better
