Most of us wonder and often think about how many calories we should eat in order to lose weight. Well, there are a lot of different calculations involved in determining how many calories you must consume and this may vary according to your gender, body weight, age and other factors.
An easy formula that you can try to calculate the amount of calories you must consume without gaining weight is to take your body weight and multiply it in kilograms by 24. It’s a rough estimate but a good starting point. So for example your weight is 50 kgs then the approximate calories that you must have every day is about 1200 calories per day to maintain your current weight.
If you eat less than this number of calories or if you burn them through exercise, then you will be able to lose weight. But if you eat more then you may not find it easy to lose weight but may rather gain some. So it is important to pay attention to each thing that you eat and see how many calories it has. Doing this, you can get an idea of how many calories you are having per day.
