As a trainer, I talk to men and women on a every day basis with regards to caloric numbers or nutritional content, but most folks must see the math to grasp the idea fully. Take a peek at how knowing the math of fitness can help you determine the correct weight loss plan.

Suzy Q is a thirty-five year old, 150 pound women who is 5 foot. Her weight loss goals are two pounds in a week. Suzy Q eats 2500 calories a day and lives a sedentary lifestyle (see desk job).
Utilizing a standard formula we know that Suzy Q burns 1443 calories each day just due to the fact she is alive. This is her basal metabolic rate (BMR).
Let’s break down Suzy’s basic numbers:
2500 Calories consumed – 1433 BMR = 1057 Calories not burned
A quick world wide web search tells us an average person, living a sedentary way of life, burns 507 Calories:
1057 Calories left to burn – 507 Calories from sedentary lifestyle = 550 Calories not burned
On this course, she will gain weight. She has excess calories. We know that 3500 excess calories will make her gain 1 pound. Furthermore we know that 550 divides into 3500 6.three times. That means that in just over 6 weeks, poor Suzy is going to gain a pound. This is how those extra 5-10( or far more) pounds sneak up on an individual like Suzy without her even understanding.
What can Suzy do? The answer is straightforward, change the numbers.
Suzy is now going to eat 1500 Calories.
1500 Calories consumed – 1433 BMR = 57 Calories not burned
To reach her weight loss objective, Suzy is going to be a lot more active during her every day life
57 Calories not burned – 730 from moderately active lifestyle = 673 Additional calories burned
This means Suzy is going to burn 673 more calories than she uses on a daily basis. If we multiply 673 x 7 days of the week we get 4711 additional calories.
Suzy is also going to do:
Intense weight training twice a week at 450 calories per day: 900 calories
Run a total of 6 miles in a week: 567 calories
Walk a total of 6 miles in a week: 270 calories
Swim for an hour every week: 500 calories
Total: 2237 calories
If we add the extra calories that Suzy is burning on a daily basis to the number of calories she is burning from exercise, we get 6948 more calories every week that she is burning versus calories she is eating. Understanding that 3500 calories equals 1 pound, Suzy is going to lose about 2 lbs in a week.
The net result is that we all ought to be mindful of the “numbers”…our caloric intake versus our caloric usage. We know, from making sense of the numbers, that no weight loss plan is going to work within the long run without a practical fitness routine incorporated.
