Your Personal Weight Loss Plan - Page 3

Step #2 – Recommended Daily Calorie Intake

Before you can create a Weight Loss Plan you must know how many calories your body needs each and every day based on the number the jotted down from Step #1 in order to achieve that number on your weight scales.   Unfortunately, calculating this number is not an exact science as our bodies use a different amount of calories from day to day.   Calorie intake is continually influenced by such factors as stress, amount of sleep, sex, age and level of activity – and other factors as previously discussed.

Please note that the following chart may be used as a pattern for recommended daily calories (energy) and are not set in stone.   And as previously addressed, it is equally important to get with your family doctor to determine your personal daily calorie recommendations.

Locate your ‘Goal Weight’ as set forth in Step #1 and determine necessary calories by using the chart below.   As an example, if Dieter Carrie was 5’5” tall, her goal weight taken from the chart above would be 155 pounds.   Looking at the chart below, Carrie will need to consume 1,898 calories in order to reach her goal weight of 155 pounds.   As weight loss occurs, this number will require adjusting so she (and you) will continue to drop pounds.

Goal Weight                  Daily Calories            Goal Weight                  Daily Calories
110 - 115                      1,424                              154 - 156                      1,898
112 - 116                      1,456                              157 - 159                      1,937
114 - 117                      1,489                              160 - 163                      1,976
118 - 122                      1,528                              164 - 167                      2,009
123 - 127                      1,567                              168 - 172                      2,035
128 - 131                      1,606                              173 - 178                      2,041
134 - 136                      1,645                              179 - 183                      2,080
137 - 140                      1,723                              184 - 188                      2,126
141 - 144                      1,762                              189 - 192                      2,171
145 - 147                      1,801                              193 - 197                      2,340
148 - 150                      1,840                              198 - 202                      2,399
151 - 153                      1,879                              203 - 207                      2,457

The ‘daily calories’ above are based on Goal Weight and an inactive lifestyle.   By inserting activity into your weight loss plan, you should experience stellar weight loss results.

A simple, yet effective trick in reaching your Goal Weight is to count the number of calories that this weight requires to be supported, then simply consume that number of calories per day.   For example: Dieter Ken’s Goal Weight is 190 pounds.   If he consumed about 2,171 calories per day he will eventually reach his Goal Weight.   This of course, is based on Ken leading an inactive lifestyle – so Ken will need to employ more calories depending upon his level of activity.
