Recommended Calorie Needs Based on Weight

The Diet Bites Formula

To determine daily calories to maintain a particular weight, locate your weight.   Next, choose whichever column applies: Inactive Lifestyle, Moderate Lifestyle or Active Lifestyle which will provide a pattern for the daily calories needed. For example, an active  141 pound individual requires 2,397 calories to maintain that weight.

Numbers are based on our personal formula and are provided for informational purposes only.   We recommend that you meet with your doctor, nutritionist or dietitian to determine your individual calorie needs as many factors can effect this number such as gender, muscle mass, age and various levels of activity.   For example, a 140 pound individual burns approximately 103 calories during 15 minutes of biking and only 50 calories during 15 minutes of playing Frisbee.
