How Many Calories Should I Consume to Lose Weight?

Since I'm heading up the Body For Life Corporate Challenge in the office, I got asked the following question: I want to lose weight, so how many calories should I consume?

Although there are a plethora of equations and calculators available, they will all seem to converge if you start plugging in your numbers - at least, they did for me. Give these a try for yourself:

  • The Zig-Zag method calculator is easy to utilize.
  • You can also calculate your BMR, then consume fewer calories and, logically, you should lose weight.
  • One formula is (10.2 x Your Weight + 879) x .52 = X calories on non-weight lifting days; (10.2 x Your Weight + 879) x .65 = X calories on weight lifting days. (credit)
