HOW MANY average calories does a person burn in 1 day?!
Question: I was just woundering how many average calories a person burns in 1 day?
Answers: I was just woundering how many average calories a person burns in 1 day?
depends on lifestyle, it is recommended that people consume 2000 calories/day - the average person
Here is the equation:
1. How many calories do you burn with your RMR + aerobic + anaerobic activity per day?
Answer: Here's a nice calculator that gives you 4 categories to choose from for your anaerobic activity plus a place to put in what you burn per day in added exercise .... http://www.nutritiondata.com/calories-bu...
Some examples of occupations for figuring your anaerobic activity level:
Construction Worker, Landscaping, etc. would be very active
Nurse, Massage Therapist, etc. would be active (on your feet a lot)
Desk job would be somewhat active
Sedentary would be someone that just lies there and does nothing but minimal bodily functions
2. How many lbs. do you want to lose a week? Healthy rate of loss is no more than 2 lbs. a week.
3. What should your calorie deficit per day be to lose your "blank" pounds a week?
Answer: Multiply lbs. you want to lose per week (#2 above) X 3500 = Calorie deficit needed per WEEK to lose that # of lbs. Now divide this number by 7 and that is the calorie deficit you need per DAY to lose those that # of lbs.
4. OK Now we can plug everything into the following formula and figure out what "X" (number of calories to eat) should be.
"X" (number of calories to eat) minus Total # of calories burned per day = Your target daily deficit
Example:
Calories burned per day per the website = 2306
Target lbs. to lose per week = 2
2 X 3500 = 7000 (weekly deficit needed to lose 2 lbs. per week)
7000/7 = 1000 (target daily deficit needed to lose 2 lbs. per week)
Plug it into the formula..
x - 2306 (calories burned per website) = -1000
x = 1306 target calories per day to lose 2 lbs. a week with my current activiy level (Resting Metabolism + Aerobic activity + Lifestyle/Anaerobic activity)
Hope this helps everyone!
Blozzom :-)
most burn AT LEAST 1000-1200. this number is way different for those who are healthy and exercise reguarily.
It depends on your height/weight/metabolism. The number of calories you burn in a day - just kind of functioning as normal - is called your BMR or basal metabolic rate. You can look yours up here - http://walking.about.com/cs/calories/l/b... .
