The number of calories you need to eat per day to keep your weight the same

	Gender:
	Age:	years
	Weight:	pounds



	Your Personal "Metabolism":	calories

This is referred to as the "Basal Metabolic Rate" (BMR) or "Resting Energy Expenditure" (REE). There are fine technical differences, but they can be treated the same for all practical purposes.

What affects your "Metabolism" or daily calorie needs from food?

Very little actually, though somethings will (the others causes RARELY COME UP):

The common causes that will affect your metabolism are:

Exercise
Thyroid Gland Problems. We usually recommend testing for thyroid gland problems if a patient is following our recommendations and not achieving results.

Though exercise has beneficial effects, it is my personal belief that many people are so overweight that in practicality exercise does little in most cases of weight loss.

Please consider the following:

Our body has a very efficient storage mechanism for the excess food that we eat over and above our "Metabolism" requirements. Our body stores this excess food energy in the form of BODY FAT.

One pound of body fat represents 3500 calories of energy that must be burned or metabolized to lose one pound of body weight.
