Putting in her 125lbs and looking to lose 2lbs a week I come up with:
CALORIES CALCULATOR
Weight: 125
Gender: F
Body Fat: 28 to 38
Daily Activity: Moderate
How Much Weight Do You Want To Lose Per Week? 2
BMR
You normally use 1822 calories per day.
Diet:
You should switch to 822 calories per day.
BUT that's a general calculator. My metabolism indicate I should be eating 2933 calories per day but I can't eat over 2K w/o gaining weight even with my high output |
Mike, I do not believe that the formula above is meant to be used with lean body mass.
I came up with BMR of 1351.43. BMR is determined before factoring in her activity level.
Here are the calories she burns each day that I came up with based on the amount she exercises/activity level:
Calories Burned a day factoring activity 1621.717 1. sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2 1858.217 2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375 2094.718 3. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55 2331.218 4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725 2567.719 5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9 I highlighted the middle one in red because I believe that's her activity level from what she's posted. So if she's shooting to lose 2lbs a week, I got 2095 calories-1000 deficit a day = 1095 calories a day she can eat and still lose 2lbs a week.
