How many calories you need depends on various factors, including height, total body weight, ratio of fat to muscle, age, gender, genes and physical exercise. (Plus illness, pregnancy etc.) But usually, a woman's calorie needs can be reasonably accurately assessed by focusing on two calorie components. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and physical exercise.\n\nBasal Metabolic Rate is a short way of saying: "the amount of energy (calories) you need to keep your body functioning while at rest." A body needs a minimum number of calories to maintain the millions of chemical reactions which keep eyes, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys etc. in healthy working order. This is your Basal Metabolic Rate. Over half the calories needed by most women fuel these basic bodily functions.\n\nTry this link:

Doug:  The key to weight loss is simply this:  A pound of fat is 3,500 calories.  You need approximately 2,000-2,500 calories/ day to maintain your weight.  If you run four miles a day, you are burning about 500 calories.  So, in order to lose weight, you must reduce your caloric intake to about 1,000/day.  You will then burn 2000 calories/day (so long as you do your 4 miles)..and the weight will burn off of you rather quickly.  Do not starve yourself.  After 72 hours of starvation, your metabolism will stop dead in its tracks..your body will think that you are starving and you won't burn anything.  Drink alot of water.  Beleive it or not, alot of your stomach size could be due to water retention.  Up your water intake to at least a gallon per day and your body will not store any water.  Since muscle is 70% water and fat is 20% water, you will know that you are burning fat rather than lean muscle if you are properly hydrated.  Good luck!

If you are trying to lose fat, you want both a low fat and low cal diet. Don't count on losing weight if you exercise though because you are likly to put on more pounds than you lose. \n\nIt takes around 500 calories to burn off one pound of fat, but fat is the last reserve of your body, so it takes a lot to get to it. \n\nTo get an estimate of how much you burn each day, consider that if you did nothing but sit, with some minimal walking, you would burn about 2000 calories. If you do the same thing, except for getting about 2 hours of heavy exercise, you'll burn about 3000 calories. You need about 2500 calories a day to avoid being hungery and to stay healthy.\n\nSo, a smart diet (around 2500 calories), and more than an hour of exercise daily, and you should slowly start seeing a difference. Don't expect it to go fast though. It takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to major changes in diet and exercise, and get to peak preformance.

Running 300 feet once per day will not amount to any appreciable weight loss.  The exact calorie expenditure is unknown since you didn't indicate your weight.  But on average you're probably looking at around 50 calories which is about half a yogurt.  \n\nHere's some calorie calculators to give you a rough idea of what it takes to burn calories through various activities:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/tools.html#cbva

If you can burn about 500 calories per day (and don't eat more to compensate), you can lose 1 pound per week.

The brain makes up approx. 2% of human body mass, and uses approx. 20% of total energy consumption. So, if you burn 2000 calories/ day, your brain burns 400 calories on average. Studies have shown, though, that actively using the brain- ie. solving math problems, etc- increases the energy demand, and thus burns more calories.

Nope.  Look at an exercise table and it will tell you how long you have to do a given activity to burn so many calories.  A small portion of ice cream probably has 200 calories, which you would have ro run for say a couple of hours for to burn.  Exercise is good, dieting is better, and both is best.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator (http://www.straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html). This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (bur more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both. For more information on diet, weight loss and exercise, visit http://straighthealth.com

you need to find how many calories the exercise burn, find your resting metabolic rate, subtract 500 calories from that, 500 calorie reduction cause weight loss of 1 lb, but be sure to take in min of 1200 calories per day for healthy food and protein,  and half you body weight in oz. per day of water, protein is your energy source when exercising if you do not have proper protein intake you body will burn the muscle convert to fat and use that for energy, if you take in protein your body will burn the fat to help process the protein thus leaving you lean and not fluffy.

It really depends on how much weight you want to loose. How much you already weigh doesnt really matter. Typically, the average calorie intake a day is 2,000.\n\nIf you are planning to lose between 10-15 pounds, cut back to 1,800 calories a day, until you lose the weight\n\nIf you are planning to lose 15-25 pounds, cut back to a 1,500 calories a day, until you lose the weight.\n\nIf you are planning to lose more than 25 pounds, cut back to 1,100 calories a day, until you lose the weight. \n\nIf a person is more than 20 pounds over weight, it might be a good idea to subract an extra 100 calories a day.\n\n\nThe most important thing to do is keep track of where you are getting those calores from. If you are getting your daily calorie intake form junk-food, thats not going to help. Try to fill up your calories on healthier food.

In theory it's around 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. Every so often people have good weeks where they lose a lot of weight but generally that's just water weight. It also depends on your metabolism for how many calories you should cut out of your diet. I  have a friend who runs a lot and he has to constantly eat so he doesn't get too skinny. I don't know if you've seen the Oprah episode with Dr. Oz but he talks about how it's the waist measurement that counts. Also keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat.

This will vary from body to body and can be influenced by your height, weight, exercise level, fitness level,  how often you eat, exactly what you eat, and a number of other things.    The best way for you to find out would be for you to go to a gym or doctor's office and have them do some sort of metabolic test to figure out approximately how many calories you burn, then come up with some sort of diet and exercise program from there.
