Caloric Needs Based on Body Mass

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
Body mass index
  • Calories per day – minimum number of calories per day is calculated by sex and height in accordance with guidelines from the Institute of Medicine. When the Body Mass Index (BMI) is 25 or greater, the minimum is the amount of calories reduced by 15% to get food that is not too severe and can be maintained for years without any adverse effects by ordinary people with health. The number of calories may need to be increased depending on level of activity, but they increased more than 15% may not result in weight loss. To lose weight, you have to get the carbohydrates that are less than 60 grams per day (no more than 240 calories) are distributed throughout the day.
  • Gram of protein per day – This value is calculated from the normal maximum Body Mass Index (BMI), height, and your activity level. He was associated with 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram for low activity level, 1.1 grams for moderate activity, and 1.4 grams for vigorous activity. Other components of foods, including essential fatty acids and carbohydrates should be proportioned to provide the minimum calories per day. For men and women the same height with the requirements of caloric content is lower for women, but the same protein requirements for men and women. This means that, in general, women have a diet richer in protein than male diets. Every diet should always include at least the minimum amount of protein to prevent loss of muscle tissue when the amount of caloric intake is reduced. A typical high protein diet will acquire 30% of calories from protein, 30% from fat, and 40% from carbohydrates. A low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets are generally derived 25% calories from protein, 65% from fat, and 10% from carbohydrates. The table below shows that the percentage of providing more than the minimum protein requirement 2000 – and 1800-calorie diet.

Effect of diet or exercise program can only be monitored if you have accurate biometric data. This web page will help you calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI), waist to height ratio, percent body fat and lean body mass. You also get a daily estimate of your calorie and protein requirements based on the level of activity. You’ll want to record the measurements once per week to track your progress. If you store data in a spreadsheet (eg MS Excel), you will be able to make graphs to see trends more easily.

The number of calories in the food we eat and the amount of calories we use to determine whether we will lose weight or gain weight. Extra calories we consume are generally stored as fat in our body. To maintain a stable weight, the number of calories in our food should be equal to the number of calories you use through exercise, waste, body oil, or use for skin renewal, hair, nails, and other organ cells. To lose weight, we must consume fewer calories than our body needs so that we store body fat is used to meet the needs of our caloric servings. It is advisable to consult a doctor or dietitian before starting any diet, especially if you take any medications.

Stage For a Healthy Diet

My Weight Loss Coach

To ensure that the diet we are on the right track, Aragon mentions two main stages that normally would tempt us to ‘finish line’ quickly.

  • Get ready for the stagnant. At first, Aragon explained, our weight will drop with linear. That is, the amount of fat to lose will be the same every week. This stage is usually the most severe felt while undergoing a weight loss program. But as our bodies become lighter then weight loss will take place more regularly.

“So do not be easily discouraged if the scale weight has not changed much. Because in fact, the closer we are to target the desired weight then the longer we have to meet with stagnant stage. “

  • Do not push yourself too much with the various rules of diet. Upon entering the week to 8 or 12, give the body a break from the diet for 7 days. “The goal is that we do not feel pressured by a different set of rules applied.” But Aragon reminded that break that we choose permanent make healthy food as an option.

This method according to Aragon will make us a little mental relaxation so that programs can run more enjoyable diet. , Assistant professor of nutrition from New York University, also suggested that we not only make the number scale as a measure the success of the diet program. “When we successfully entered the stage of a break by staying healthy eating, then do not be shy to appreciate themselves.

Ways to measure body fat

The vast majority of the methods we use to measure ourselves when we feel that our weight has gone up or when we start doing a diet to lose those extra kilos, not the most appropriate and did not really do a good job of telling us when if we are in shape or out of it.

In fact, this measure is far more important than BMI. All because there is a greater risk of developing conditions such as type two diabetes and heart disease if a person has excess fat in the abdomen.

The trouble is that unless you are in the world of modeling, they may not have the habit of measuring your waist. And like it or not is a bit annoying this may give more indication of the progress of weight loss. (more…)
