calories count

have you ever come across with someone who said,
"just eat and enjoy yourself, live life to the fullest."
i have like a baker dozen times a day, but the fact is
this people arent happy with their body and that
they have given up exercising due to the lack of commitment
or even because they dont enjoy it. from my point of view,
eating healthily is not only mandatory but also makes u feel
good about yourself, imagine eating 3 bars of kit kat followed by
a big packet of bbq lays, humans do feel bad but they are
just being ignorant to things and people who dont help themself,
theres no way they are even to lose a pound.

There's no getting around this fundamental truth: You can't lose weight unless you burn more calories than you take in.
Leslie Bonci, M.P.H., R.D., a sports nutritionist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, recommends these formulas for figuring out your daily calorie goals.
Everyone is different, but it will give you a basic idea.

Lazy-Day Calorie Goal
(use on days when you're taking it easy/not exercising):
A. Your weight, in pounds: ____
B. A x 15 = _____
C. B - 500 = _____

Busy-Day Calorie Goal
(use on days when you're active/exercising):
A. Your weight, in pounds: ____
B. A x 18 = ____
C. B - 500 = ____

» Aim for these numbers and you'll lose 1 pound
per week, a weight-loss rate that's healthy and
super-easy to maintain.

ps: 1 kg= 2.2 lbs
1lbs=0.5kg
