CALORIE OVERVIEW




First lets start with what a Calorie is. The calorie is commonly known as unit of food energy. Food energy is the amount of energy in food that is available through digestion. Most of them think loosing weight is reducing calorie intake and increasing physical activity. May be this is because not knowing exactly what a calorie is.
This blog is about learning how many calories to be taken and how many excess calories to burn each day.
Keep a track of your daily intake of Calories starting from breakfast to latenight snacks. Do not miss your
tiny-bitty snacks between because everything counts. Do this for a week and you will know how many less or more calories you had been consuming than the actual. For this you should be aware of how much amount of Calories should be taken per a day. This depends on your basal metabolic rate also known as BMR.
Next post will be about what a BMR is and how we calculate BMR. And also using Activity Levels.
