Question:
How many calories should I eat if I want to lose weight?
Answer:
It's Relative
Technically, there is no magic number of calories we should all eat each day to lose weight. While most people can lose weight eating around 1,500 calories, you can assess your own personal caloric needs with a little math.
 
Why Estimate Your Caloric Needs?
To estimate how many calories you should consume in order to maintain your weight, you'll need to do a little math. By using a simple formula called the Harris-Benedict principle, you can assess your basal metabolic rate -- also known as your BMR.

Start Walking To Lose Weight!
If you want to lose weight, but don’t have a lot of time to exercise, walking could be the solution. Everyone walks – whether it’s through the parking lot or around the block. All you have to do is walk more often in order to see a change in your weight.
When walking to lose weight what is healthy is individual. In our abundant lives we most often have choices to make rather than have or not have, and so the question is…which is healthier for me? Don’t let other people tell you what the right choice for you is but be aware of the consequences of your choices and choose those which you want. Most often this is between what short term joy comes with a choice such as eating a bar of chocolate watching television late at night and cutting down the time required to reach the longer term joy of fitting in to a favorite dress.

If you'd like to calculate your BMI yourself, follow these three steps.
1. Work out your height in metres and multiply the figure by itself
2. Measure your weight in kilograms
3. Divide the weight by the height squared (the answer to Q1)
For example, you might be 1.6m (5ft 3in) tall and weigh 65kg (10st 3lb). The calculation would then be:
1.6 x 1.6 = 2.56. BMI would be 65 divided by 2.56 = 25.39.
underweight (bmi<20)
normal weight (bmi 20-25)
overweight (bmi>25)
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for protection against obesity related illness and disability. If your weight is currently over the healthy range for your height, losing weight will be beneficial to your health, your looks, and how you feel.
