How Many Calories Per Day Should You Eat?

Just how many calories do you need to maintain your current weight, lose weight or gain weight? There are tons of calorie calculators out there but the easiest and fairly accurate way to determine how many calories you need each day is the one I am listing below. Once you determine your caloric needs you can then determine how many calories to cut from your intake each day to drop one pound. It takes 3500 burned to lose one pound so if you combine exercise with a reduction in calories per day you will meet your goal.

I happen to like the Mayo Clinic’s free calorie calculator because it is simple and quick. If you want determine how many calories you need just to exist at the weight you are at use this calculator. Then you can determine how much you want to exercise and find a calculator to determine how many calories are burned during that exercise and reduce your daily intake of calories to reach the 3500 mark. That will help you burn off one pound when you spread it out over a week’s time.
