How many Calories do your body burn.

[Ahilljr]

Hello

I'm new to this forum and I have some questions before my road to redemptions starts. How many calories do a person burn daily no exercise added. I have no clue what my body burn on a daily base. Just a starter question. If someone can help me with this info that would be great. A little about myself to help I'm 6'1 around 290 give or take a few pounds. Thank for your time. Ohhh how do I make a Avatar ? not sure if I'm ready to post myself but it is coming.

It is said the body functions on around 2000 calories a day. That is the guideline on how many you should be eating to maintain your current weight. Eating more will increase your weight, less and you drop weight. If only it was that easy, losing weight that is

I wish it was that easy. I just read the sticky about search older post for my answer.... can anyone head me into the right direction ? there are tons of post here in this section. Thanks for your time.

You have a BMR of 2616.2 (Your body would burn 2616 Calories, if you stayed in bed for the whole day)

To maintain your weight, you will need 3139 Calories per-day (little or no exercise)

Thank you so much. So the theory is if I take in less then 3000 but higher then 1800 I should have a health weight loss going on ? with a decent workout plan. I will get into the other stuff later but that is the key correct ?. I know there is a outstanding science to wieght loss and it is very overwhelming to a new comer like myself.

Yeah, that's correct.

To lose weight, you simply subtract around 500 Cals from your recommended calorie intake (3139), so that works out at approximately 2639 Calories per day.

Good luck
