How Much to Eat?

To calculate the minimum calories a person should eat (Your Basal Metabolic Rate) use this calculation:





Women BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)





Men BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - ( 6.8 x age in years )





Take this number and multiply by : 1.2 for sendentary poeple , 1.375 lightly active , 1.55 moderate active , 1.725 if very active and 1.9 competetively active
