01-20-2008 - How many calories do YOU need?
Waddup yo? So I must bow to my king and admit he’s right. I’ve been struggling with a bunch of cheat days. I get so upset when I’m over 2500 calories a day. And the King mentioned that I should be at least at 2500. Well, I decided to put my new found Personal Training knowledge to the test. I took the Harris-Benedict Caloric Needs formula. You take your height, weight, and age into a formula and figure out how much your Basal Metebolic Rate is. I found out that I need 2500 calories just to function! If I’m working out heavy (working out 6 times a week) I need almost 4400 calories!
So here’s the vblog. You’ll be able to see a walk through on how to figure out your own metabolic rate. I suggest everyone check it out!
01-20-2008 - How many calories do I need?What is your caloric needs
1 inch = 2.54 centimetres. 1 kilo = 2.2 pounds
BMI men= 66 + (13.7 x weight in kilos) + (5 x height in centimetres) - (6.8 x age in years)
BMI women= 655 + (9.6 x weight in kilos) + (1.8 x height in centimetres) - (4.7 x age in yrs)
- If you are sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) multiply BMR by 1.2
- If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days per week) multiply your BMR by 1.375
- If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days per week) multiply your BMR by 1.55
- If you take heavy exercise (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days per week) multiply your BMR by 1.725

VBlogs f’n rock!! Well done!
The 1,000 calorie line is a great way to gauge losing/gaining per week. Seeing as I’m trying to gain weight, 1,000 clean calories per day is really hard to graft onto a diet, but it does work.
Yeah, your handwriting is way better than mine. Mine is like a series of scratches, triangles, and the Ghostbuster symbol thrown in there. I don’t even know what it says.
