What is a BMR? Your BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body burns while at rest. This doesn’t mean the calories you burn on a rest day lightly doing yoga or chores around the house. This means the number of calories your body would burn if you were laying in bed all day or if you were in a coma. Why can’t I cut calories from my BMR? Cutting calories from your BMR deprives your body of essential nutrients it needs to perform everyday functions. You will not be able to perform on a level you want to and your body will suffer from this in the long run. How can I find my BMR? You can find your BMR by using this formula based on height, weight, and age: In pounds/inches Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year ) In kilos/centimeters Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years ) How do I find my Daily Calorie Needs from my BMR? There are different methods of finding your Daily Calorie Needs but a very simple and useful one is the Harris Benedict Equation: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) BMR x 1.2 If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) BMR x 1.375 If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)  BMR x 1.55 If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) BMR x 1.725 If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training)  BMR x 1.9 How many calories do I need to lose/maintain/gain weight? To maintain you need to consume your Daily Calorie Needs but going slightly over or slightly under some days won’t affect you much. In order to lose weight, the generally accepted number to subtract from your Daily Calorie Needs is 500 or 250 for a 1lb or 1/2lb weight loss per week. Your body doesn’t need you to cut calories to be healthy and get to the right weight/place it needs to be. Being healthy is your ultimate goal so never cut too much because this is your body’s essential needs and energy you are taking away from. To gain weight you can do the opposite of losing and add 500 or 250 to you Daily Calorie Needs. My absolute worst pet peeve is when fitblrs and posts tell people to cut calories from their BMR to lose weight. You should never cut calories from your BMR. Ever.  -lovethefitty

What is a BMR?

Your BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body burns while at rest. This doesn’t mean the calories you burn on a rest day lightly doing yoga or chores around the house. This means the number of calories your body would burn if you were laying in bed all day or if you were in a coma.

Why can’t I cut calories from my BMR?

Cutting calories from your BMR deprives your body of essential nutrients it needs to perform everyday functions. You will not be able to perform on a level you want to and your body will suffer from this in the long run.

How can I find my BMR?

You can find your BMR by using this formula based on height, weight, and age:

In pounds/inches

Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )

In kilos/centimeters

Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )

How do I find my Daily Calorie Needs from my BMR?

There are different methods of finding your Daily Calorie Needs but a very simple and useful one is the Harris Benedict Equation:

If you are sedentary (little or no exercise)

  • BMR x 1.2

If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)

  • BMR x 1.375

If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) 

  • BMR x 1.55

If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week)

  • BMR x 1.725

If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) 

  • BMR x 1.9

How many calories do I need to lose/maintain/gain weight?

To maintain you need to consume your Daily Calorie Needs but going slightly over or slightly under some days won’t affect you much. In order to lose weight, the generally accepted number to subtract from your Daily Calorie Needs is 500 or 250 for a 1lb or 1/2lb weight loss per week. Your body doesn’t need you to cut calories to be healthy and get to the right weight/place it needs to be. Being healthy is your ultimate goal so never cut too much because this is your body’s essential needs and energy you are taking away from. To gain weight you can do the opposite of losing and add 500 or 250 to you Daily Calorie Needs.

I hate when people try to tell me how much fat is in peanut butter or how much sugar is in yogurt or how many calories are in cheese. Like duhh there’s fat and sugar and calories in the food I eat, it’s what fuels my body. I’m not going to sit on the ground and eat twigs and dirt. The point is that I’m EATING my food in correct amounts, I’m not shoveling the entire production line of SKIPPY peanut butter down my throat and injecting yogurt into my veins. Chill out! AND YOUR STUPID LEAN CUISINE HAS A TON OF SODIUM.

healthiie: Ok. Stop. Take a deep breath and put your thinking cap on. I’m going to hit you with some wisdom, k? Take your weight loss calorie goal, and just toss that number out the window. We’re not going to talk about that right now. We’re going to talk about that minor (or major) freak out we sometimes have when we’re having a really good week, eating really well, then we lose our damn minds and stuff our faces with delicious delicious junk food. 2000 calories is about what your body needs to maintain your weight and keep all your organs doing all those lovely keeping you alive things that they do. Your body burns all those calories at rest. That means that while you’re sitting on your ass, walking to the fridge and back, scrolling through tumblr, etc etc.. your body is making you breathe and make new cells and shit and burns those 2000 calories. To gain a single pound, you’d have to eat another 3500 calories on top of those 2000. Thats 5500 calories. 5500 calories is a fucking lot of calories, okay? Lets take a look at what 5500 calories looks like. One slice of a large pepperoni pizza from pizza hut is 330 calories. You’d have to eat a little over 2 entire large pepperoni pizzas to hit 5500 calories. One crunchy taco from taco bell is 170 calories. To eat 5500 calories, you’d have to eat 32 tacos. One double cheeseburger from mcdonalds is 440 calories. 12 of those is 5500 calories. 21 cheetos are 160 calories. 714 cheetos are 5500 calories. Was whatever junk you ate probably a bad choice health-wise? Probably. Did you ruin all your progress? No. Did you even eat enough to gain an entire whole pound? Nooope. Are you going to survive, drink some water, go for a walk or run in the morning, and forgive yourself? Yep. You are. Know why? Cause shit happens. But we move on, and we stay determined, and we get fucking results because thats how bad we want it. You started this journey, and you’re going to finish it. One bump in the road is just that. A little bump in your road. So, k. Stop freaking out. Forgive yourself. You had a bad night but you’re going to make better choices next time. Now go drink that glass of water, take an advil, do some exercise, and remember that you’re a badass fitblr too full of determination to have any room for fucks to give.

Someone had asked me about the whole 1200 calorie magic number versus my 2000 calorie business,

chocolatfonce:

So I thought I would post what I had responded to her with so you can see where I am coming from.

“Hey. So I saw where you said you started losing weight when you started eating 2000 calories. Can you explain that to me? On all of those calorie counter apps it says to eat roughly around 1200 calories. So I’m confused. Thanks!”

First of all no one should eat only 1200 calories..period. I myself am a pretty petite girl, I am short and “skinny”. I need 1300 calories a day just for my organs to function properly and keep my alive. And that’s if I don’t move a single muscle. Anyone taller than me or anyone that weighs more than I do will need even more just to keep their body going.

Not only that, but I can promise you that you need more than that number because you aren’t bed ridden and immobile. You get up to go to the bathroom, you use the computer..anything that is not just laying there is burning calories (on top of the calories your body just burns on its own).

Unfortunately, most people eating 1200 calories are exercising on top of eating this little. Not to mention cooking, cleaning, work, school, walking around the house, taking care of kids, absolutely anything they might be doing. This is creating such a dangerous deficit and causing this person’s body to do a lot of damage to itself to fight to stay alive.

Other people who preach the 1200 say to get a net intake of 1200 (something like eating 1500 calories and burning 300). This can also be dangerous, like I said I need 1300 calories dedicated to just being alive. Unless you are 4’8” and 84lbs, you need more than 1200 calories to stay alive!! ESPECIALLY if you are a teenager. There has been so much research that has shown that teens need plenty of calories. The average teenage girl that is sedentary needs 1800 calories. Depending on your activity levels you could honestly need 2500 calories.

Also, when you are eating more, your body knows that it will keep getting fuel so it will deplete your fat stores. When you eat 1200 calories and then work out on top of that, your body will eat away at it’s muscle and vital organs but still retain thatfat, so sure the number on the scale is going down but is that really what you want..? Most people don’t think about the fact that what they really want is to lose fat, not lose weight.

Keep in mind that I also eat 2000 calories of clean foods. Yeah I have “junk” in moderation, but 80% of the time I eat a whole foods plant based diet with the occasional dairy. 

Have you ever heard the quote “Eat for the body you want and not the body you have.” Honestly if you eat even 1800, your metabolism will speed up, you will have more energy, making working out easier, your body will naturally go towards a healthy weight for you(not necessarily you “UGW” but the weight that your body likes to be at.)

It’s just something to think about, we are not all the same. 1200 is not a magic number, 2000 is not a magic number. But your body does need fuel. And 1200 is not going to healthily cut it for 90% of people, especially those who are in their teens. 

Also keep in mind that losing weight is not my goal, I want to lose fat, get stronger, get more flexible, have more energy, and just be a healthier, happier person in general:)

I hope this helped and answered any questions. Remember I am not a professional, this is just knowledge I have attained through dietician appointments and a whole lot of researching. If there is anything else you would like to know please message me!
