Introduction
Have you ever thought about the amount
of calories you consume and the amount
of calories that you should actually take in?
Maybe sometimes you take in to your
system more calories than what you
should eat according to your weight and
height. Of course, it also depends on the
amount of exercise you do and about our
different metabolisms. All of this can be
calculated using as a base your height and weight, also the amount of exercise
you do during the week, after this getting your BMR and with that data you can
easily determine the proper amount of calories you should take in to your
system in a daily basis.
Metabolism: The sum of the
physical and chemical processes in
an organism by which its material
substance is produced, maintained,
and destroyed, and by which energy
is made available.
Daily Caloric Needs: The amount
of calories your body needs to
intake in order to have energy for
the day as well as to maintain your
actual weight.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): The
rate at which energy is expended in
a basal condition, calculated as
calories per hour per square meter
of body surface and compared with
a normal standard expressed as the
percentage above or below the
amount of oxygen normally used at
rest, −15 to +5 percent being
considered normal.
