How many calories should I eat considering the amount of calories that I burn?

Q. I currently weigh 170 pounds and am 5' 7'' tall. According to my resting metabolic rate, I should be eating 1558 calories per day. If I burn around 1000 calories a day, does this mean that I get to eat 2558 calories and still be able to lose weight?

A. If you want to loose weight you have to take in less calories than you put out..each pound is worth 3500 calories..deduct 500 calories each day of the week and @ the end of the week you will have lost 1#..doesn't sound like much, but look @ a # of butter..that's quite a lot.. so start with a 1800 calorie diet, if you gain or remain the same, drop it to 1500 calories. you did not put the weight on overnight, so therefore you need take it off slow..besides it is much healthier and will stay off easier if taken off slowly. You can do it..good luck.

How many calories do u lose if you eat 1000 calories and exercise everyday?

A. It depends on what exercise you do and how much of each exercise :) x.

How many calories should I burn a day if im eating about 1700 calories daily?
Q. I weigh about 173 and try to burn about 400 just on cardio because I know I burn cals during the day and the exercises after cardio. I don't want to hit plateau so please someone!

A. First off you need to find out what your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is. It is different for everyone depending on height, weight, age, and sex. You can google BMR calculator and find a site that will give you an approximate. If you dont know what a BMR is, it is the amount of calories your body burns in a day by doing nothing. If you simply just laid in bed all day and watched TV, your body would burn these calories. My BMR is 2000. Which means if I just laid around like a slob all day, I would still burn 2000 calories no matter what. So take your BMR plus whatever exercise you do and that is the amount of calories you will burn in a day. Then factor in how many calories you intake and that will tell you if you are taking in more than you burn or you are shedding calories.
