Question about calories?

The 2000 calorie FDA label is total calories.\n\nCalories from fat should already be included in the total calorie heading.  If you're on a 1000 calorie diet for whatever reason (not really recommended but it's your choice), then you count the total calories for each food.\n\nThe calories from fat are just part of the breakdown.  There are also the calories from carbs and protein.

Don't eat more calories a day than your body can burn off. Say for example, your body burns about 1200 a day, eat no more than 1200 calories a day. But it depends on your level of activity on a daily basis. Mine is 2000. I work at a computer and have minimal activity, so its pretty low. So find out what yours is and dont go over.

3500 calories equals about 1 lb.\n\nSo you'll need to consume 3500 more calories on a weekly basis.

Look at the nutrition label on the side of the box. Look under where it says 1 serving. One of the first things listed should be calories. NOw, the box will have two calorie measurments (usually) you want the one under kcal. SO if it says 100 you know how many is in the food.\nNot all foods you eat will have calories listed, such as at restraunts ect.

I aim for 1900 calories a day or less.  I am  working closely with a diet/fitness professional.  I write down what I eat in a food journal along with the calorie value of everything and I meet with my girl once a week to discuss what I ate and how I felt and all that.  She encourages me to eat several times throughout the day -every 2 or 3 hours in fact.  I do plan ahead, but allow for some spontenaity, I also eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.   When I eat at a friends house or a restaurant I write down what I ate when I get home and use this website to estimate the calorie value of what it was;\nhttp://www.calorieking.com/foods/\nAt first, I just wrote what I ate because I had no idea what the calorie value of anything was.  After 2 1/2 months of doing it, I have a much better idea of what the calorie count of different foods are and can plan better throughout the day.  I have lost 10 pounds since I started.  \nI was against the idea of counting calories at first, but agreed because what I was doing wasn't working.  For me, the most helpful thing has been the support  I recieve from my girl.  She has really helped me to stay focused.  Calories are a number, like your weight or your size that are only a part of the whole picture of health.  When I get frustrated at my slow progress she reminds me of how great I feel and the long term benefits I am giving myself by eating well and exercising and that this is for life-I am not on a diet to be a size 9 by the weekend.

Well, i think you do. It isnt good for your body to have only 400 to 500 calories a day. that should be like in a meal! So, you should'nt be afraid to eat. Eat what you want, excersie. Dont work yourself so hard though.

How many calories you need depends on various factors, including height, total body weight, ratio of fat to muscle, age, gender, genes and physical exercise. (Plus illness, pregnancy etc.) But usually, a woman's calorie needs can be reasonably accurately assessed by focusing on two calorie components. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and physical exercise.\n\nBasal Metabolic Rate is a short way of saying: "the amount of energy (calories) you need to keep your body functioning while at rest." A body needs a minimum number of calories to maintain the millions of chemical reactions which keep eyes, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys etc. in healthy working order. This is your Basal Metabolic Rate. Over half the calories needed by most women fuel these basic bodily functions.\n\nTry this link:

It is impossible to know what calories are in what foods as the foods use different ingredients so it will vary from place to place.\n\nYou can 'guess' by getting the list of ingredients and then listing how many calories they have, but its probably not accurate.\n\nSome restaurants have calorie list of their foods by request.

Calories are energy, essentially. In fact, they're also a unit of measure of energy. \n\nThe human body only needs a certain amount of calories to carry out life processes and fuel the body. When you consume in excess, the calories are stored as fat and other unhealthy compounds.
