Do you know how many calories you are using a day?

Japanese page → 一日の消費カロリーはどれくらい?

Firstly knowing your basal metabolism is fundamental.

 

Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy required to maintain vital functions in an organism at complete rest.

The calculating formulas are as follows:

 

Male: 12.397 × weight (kg) + 4.799 × height (cm) – 5.677 × age + 88.362

 

Female: 9.247 × weight (kg) + 3.098 × height (cm) – 4.33 × age + 447.593

 

My basal metabolism is around 1250 kcal per day.

 

Then let’s calculate your approximate daily calorie use!

Choose which one of these below is similar to your lifestyle:

  1. I do not exercise very much: your basal metabolism×1.2
  2. I do light exercises twice a week : your basal metabolism ×1.4
  3. I do moderate exercises 4 days a week: your basal metabolism ×1.55
  4. I do intense exercises almost every day: your basal metabolism ×1.7
  5. I do physical labour every day×1.9

I think my case is 4, so my daily calorie use is 2125 kcal.

If I do not eat more than this many calories in a day, I should be able to keep my weight the same.

 

I think knowing yourself is important.
