week 5: loosing weight in a sensible way

STEP FIVE: DO THE MATH
It’s time to figure out how many calories you should be eating in order to reach your weight goal. Once you know this magic number, you can choose the food plan that’s best suited to your body’s needs.

• YOUR WEIGHT LOSS EQUATION:
655 + (4.4 X your goal weight in pounds) + (4.6 X your height in inches) – 4.7 X your age in years = base calories

• MULTIPLY THIS NUMBER BY:
1.2 you get little or no exercise
1.3 if you’re somewhat active
The total is the number of calories you should eat each day in order to reach your goal weight and maintain it.
