You are what you eat!

This frequently quoted cliché brings truth and value with it. The amount of calories you put into your body and the amount of energy you use up on your activities will determine your body weight. Therefore, balancing your calorie input with your energy output helps maintain your weight; adjusting your energy output with your calorie input will help you achieve your desired weight. Simply remember that when you take more calories than you need to perform your day's activities, your body stores the extra calories and you gain weight. On the other hand, you lose weight if your body uses your stored calories when you take less calories than you use. This concept is no secret!

Understanding your body's energy requirements does not only help you manage your weight effectively but also helps you make healthy choices. However, it is quite a challenge to determine how many calories your body needs to lose or maintain your weight.

Here’s an easy and simple formula to help you estimate your daily calorie requirements matching your lifestyle*:

Sedentary lifestyle: Weight (in kg) x 2.2 x 14 = estimated cal/day
Moderately active lifestyle: Weight (in kg) x 2.2 x 17 = estimated cal/day
Active lifestyle: Weight (in kg) x 2.2 x 20 = estimated cal/day

Definitions: Moderately Active is defined as 3-4 physical activities per week. Active is defined as 5-7 physical activities per week.

As an approach to weight loss, adjusting the calories you take with the calories you use for your physical activities will help you achieve your desired weight.
