How many calories should you be consuming daily?

Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the amount of calories you need at a resting state. There are many factors that determine it, some of which you can change (body weight, exercise, body fat %) and some you cannot change like your age. Did you know that abrupt calorie-reduction or starvation can dramatically reduce BMR by up to 30 percent. Restrictive low-calorie weight loss diets may cause your BMR to drop as much as 20%. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 per day for men.

There is a formula called the Haris Benedict Equation that will allow you to calculate your calorie needs. An easier way to to use an online BMR calculator that calculates it for you or feel free to contact me and I can help you figure yours out.
