How Many Calories Should You Eat Each Day To Lose Weight
How much weight you can lose is dependant on your ability to cut back the amount of calories you eat over a substantial period of time
. It is insignificant if you eat a little more today and less tomorrow. For weightloss, you want to focus on the idea of weeks and months rather than hours and days.
The one thing that matters is how many days you can eat fewer calories than you need to maintain your current weight vs how many days that you eat enough or even more calories than you need to maintain your present weight.
This is the easy way to picture eating for weight loss over a week ;
Lets say you need to eat 2k calories every day to maintain your present weight. ( and lets also presume you want to be lighter than this weight )
Lets also presume you want to lose half a pound of fat this week. A half pound of fat contains about 1750 calories.
By the end of this week you would need to have eaten 1750 calories less than the quantity of calories that keep you at your current body weight.
It is of no consequence at all how you get to this deficit. It just matters that by the end of the week you have eaten less food than you needed to stay the same weight. That's it.
The genuine trick is choosing a way to try this constantly. Most popular diets give you a collection of guidelines to follow each day, each time you eat, taking all the fun and spontaneity out of eating. These diets are condemned to fail because they're too restrictive. Food is fun , and social, and no-one wants to learn they can't eat their favorite foods or that they can't go out and eat when everyone else is and enjoy the same foods and not have feelings of guilt about it.
