Help me
Hello, can you help me?
I need to know if there is a method/formula to calculate the quantity of kilocalories to be deducted from the daily requirements to decrease a certain body weight. For example: a man, height 175 cm, weight 85 kg "normal constitution", daily requirements 2000 kilocalories x day. How many kilocalories he must deduct and how many days it takes to reach a body weight of 75 kg (he must lose 10 kg). Probably if a formula exists it could require more initial data. Does it exist? If it exists, is there anyone who can suggest it to me? Thank you in advance to all of you who can help me and greeting to all the News |

Help me
As an American, I'm not terribly familiar with working in kilograms will pounds help you? A decrease of about 500 Kcals/day should result in about one pound loss per week (3500 kcals). Keep in mind that several studies have shown that most dieters underestimate their portions by 30 to 50 percent, unless strictly weighing their food. This leads to a lot of false claims of being unable to lose at appropriate calorie levels. Also, as I understand it, after the initial water weight loss of various diets, it is very difficult to lose more than about one percent of one's total weight in actual fat per week, unless exercising several hours daily. Diets that promise faster weight loss typically lead to substantial loss of muscle mass, along with fat, by being to low in calorie or protein. Lorenzo Cuciniello wrote: Hello, can you help me?
