How To Calculate How Many Calories You Need

[MissShortieDiva]

They have BMR calculators online that do the math for you :)

[GrifoMTL]

"to lose a few pounds" or "maintain your current weight", OR TO GAIN WEIGHT thx

[fernandokleinrocha]

How accurate is this formula? I know some other simpler ones but they must be kinda unaccurate

[icelandic2121]

mine was a little to high i think

[UnoSemper]

I lost weight just by watching this....It also gave me a headache....Now I know why I hate mathematics...lol

[yaymeIamanut]

something tells me that the people with the outrageous calorie amounts screwed up somewhere.....

[KittyDreadful]

couldnt you just multiply your weight by ten and eat just less than that number to lose weight...?

[sp0xerz]

That is easy math shut up ...

[MrLorum]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuu  whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaa­aaaaat

[4nubiS]

Lol i did

76kg x 6.23 1,75m x 12.7 20(leeftijd) x 6,8 + 66 = 3000Kcal

and if i do it x1.55 i end up with 4500Calories, aint that too much xD ?

[icelandic2121]

@4nubiS feet snd inches not china

[marcovl89]

on my way to get my eight pack.....muhhhahhhahaa

[star8907brite]

Son of a bitch!!!! I should've paid attention in mr. Lathams math class!!!! Ill cut everything I eat in half....hmmm that should do it, then let my dog out to freely roam, and chase her before the dog catcher takes her....that should be great excersise!!! Lmao

[finance485]

Is pie involved? Pi 3.14159265 I'll take apple!

[ChocoCharlot]

[ItsGOOD2beBAD]

[NicoleLynnDevi]

[MadDogMeh]

No problem, 2 trips to Macdonals would be perfect :D

[323844555]

TOOO! MUCH.. .......MATH!!!!!!!!!!

[SmartWaterAddictx]

i'm a 13 year old girl, 5'1.5 and 112.5 pounds and they expect me to eat 2127 calories a day? hahahaha yeah right!

[yaymeIamanut]

@SmartWaterAddictx i'm 15, 5'1" and 98 ilbs and i'm supposed to eat 2498 calories per day (according to this, i could swear i eat like way more than that tho) i've always just gone by the 2,000 (reccomended) or 2,500 (for active lifestyles) thing on the nutrition facts thing. there's nothing wrong with the result that you got..

[drago01267]

Who walks 10,000 steps every day?!?!?

[drago01267]

WHAT?!?



[crashtubes]

I need 2809 Calories...I'm 16 and underweight, somehow i think this is BS

[jenniferinsanee]

WOW WHAT??? im 15 and 5'4, and i restrict calories and i just did the calculations i CAN'T BELIEVE i need 1893 calories a day! thats so much! can i really eat that much without gaining weight because if that was true it would ACTUALLY make my day..

[yaymeIamanut]

@jenniferinsanee yeah, you can. o.o how many do you actually consume???

[11moii]

Yeah.. 2079.945 cals a day...

Im 13, weigh 121.5 (kinda), and I'm 68.1 inches tall...

[4mAALIKcHIN4]

You will also need: the amount of calories in all food (including food which isn't packaged)

[iizabel1]

I have that pencil 8D

[bobviously]

You can burn 500 calories by walking 10000 steps. That comes out to walking between 4.5 and 5 miles. That's too far for the average person timewise. Eat a little less and walk a couple of miles. One candy bar has nearly 300 calories.

[skyer0blue]

WTF IS A YARD STICK?

[monkfighter123]

OWOWOWOWOW brain hurt

[jsayram]

i hate math! put a chart . haha

[spikey6100]

im 15 nd need 4,287 calories[no im not over weight]

[cupidiscalling911]

ok i belive you =)

[11moii]

@spikey6100 Hooooooly shiT! Thats a lot of calories!!

[TheAdamWadd]

@11moii

No it isn't...

[11moii]

@TheAdamWadd

4.278, YES IT IS!

[TheAdamWadd]

Ok, you're right, and scientific evidence based on years of research is wrong... I'm also wrong, since I have been using this basic model for over 6 years to gain muscle and stay very lean.. but you're right.. totally.

[11moii]

@TheAdamWadd

Chill out dude, I'm just saying that he/she can eat alot then, cause i've bin caloriecounting for a while now... Don't be so serius, geez...

[selbstinszenierung]

To keep my weight I'm only allowed to eat 1652,3388 calories a day? Wow. I think I eat way more than that (I actually don't count that; I'm more into avoid carbohydrates and stuff) and I don't gain weight at all o.O

Something's wrong here...

[ImTheSaxMan]

I need 2600 calories!

[Xeonsteel08]

Honestly it dosnt matter to me, I east when I'm hungry however much I want because calories dont matter or affect my weight at all anyways

[TheElectricDreamer93]

I just think about it this way. I'm 140ish,so about 1400 should maintain my weight. Unless I'm wrong.

[SmallEffort]

I think I did it wrongly. 1591 calories??

[MusicRocksBitch]

Uhhh. i dont think i did it right. I got 9,723...0_o

[emdot83]

THIS CALCULATION FOR BASAL METABOLIC RATE IS INACURATE!!!! You need to figure out your lean body weight then multiply that by 11. You need skin fold calipers to measure your total body fat. then you subtract your body fat from your total weight to to get your lean body weight! SOME PEOPLE HAVE MORE MUSCLE THEN OTHERS THEYRE SAME AGE AND HEIGHT. THERE FOR THIS CALCULATION METHOD ON THIS VID IS INACURATE! and I am a certified trainer, so I kno what im talking about.

[Clarensee]

@emdot83 In short, anther POS HowTO vid?

[Dakota484]

It says I need 1113.2 calories.

[rgdvm93]

confusing

[PockASqueeno]

Hey, that was kind of cool! I need 2,107.464 calories a day!

[crazywanch101]

GOOD LORD!!!! I did all the math and I got 5,650.7940 !!!! HOLY HELL!!!!

[COURTANAYsayshey]

AHAHAH i actually did it but its not precise, cause im a 14 year old girl 5'10 and 126 and i burn 800 calories a day from sports and it said i only needed 2,000 calories ;p

[crazywanch101]

I am pretty fat and get like no exercise which I am gonna change starting today.I am 165 pounds 5'3 in height and it said I needed WAY to much.5,650.7940,I am pretty sure that is how much a cow eats in one day.

[TheAdamWadd]

@crazywanch101 uh.. cow's eat grass

[LeksServices]

They put paranthesis around the multiplications, even though the only things flanking them were additions. That is hilarious! XD

[superglam92]

wow...wow.....wow.....im confused now.........too many # calculations........

the iphone application "loose it" is so much easier and better.

[7Adriano7]

lol imperial sux ._.

[vintimv001]

Do metric imperial is a fail

[lilpigboy89]

Shit. Thats a lot of math

[crazywanch101]

@lilpigboy89 F*** yes it is.

[smashingpoop]

what if you eat alot of bad stuff but dont gain weight and you still do sports everyday... is it bad?

[bossbower]

You probably would do a lot better in sports with better nutrients.

[tuxedomaskfanatic]

if its unhealthy stuff and its alot of it then it will hurt you in the long run, especially when you get older and your metabolism slows down...

And if its really unhealthy stuff, you could be putting yourself at risk for certain diseases later in life.

[drethekiller]

Crappy video...

This only works for Americans and English.

the rest of the world uses the metric system.... So this doesn't work

[Balgore8]

What if I eat like half the amount of calories but consume twice the amount of fat? What about Sugar?

[maor1993]

Go to convertworld(.)com , theres a converter there.

[TheJMachine]

I call shinanigans on this. I do next to nothing most days and except for walking and standing on my feet and this thing says I need 1808.2 calories a day to maintain weight but I am known to eat 2 pound lunches that have that 1.7k calories in it and yet I still loose weight.

[KennyMak]

Are you consistently consuming 1808.2 calories a day? I lose weight too even though I on occasion eat much more than my maintenance intake.

[TheJMachine]

I follow the 2k caloric intake a day diet put on the nutrition fact sheets on the food I eat and tend to always double the portion size they recommend.

[ssirK1994]

@TheJMachine 2k caloric DIET " " DIET? ? ? ahaha good joke

[TheMcflyAddicted]

ehm, and how do you calculate with cm's? we dont have any inches here.. (:

[TheJMachine]

.2.25 centimeters is an inch

[TheMcflyAddicted]

[televisedbaggage]

1795.68125
