How many calories do you need to burn to lose weight?
If you are serious about losing weight, you need to know how many calories you need to consume and how many to burn. To more accurately calculate exactly how many calories you need to consume, the Miffin-Geor formula is used to calculate basal metabolism (BPH).

rate for women:
OOV = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) — 5 * age (years) – 161
Basal metabolic rate for men:
OOV = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) — 5 * age (years) + 5
The resulting basal metabolic rate should be multiplied by a factor depending on your activity level:
Sedentary lifestyle: OOV x 1.2
Low activity level (exercise 1-3 times per week): OOH x 1.375
Average activity level (exercise 3-5 times per week): OOH x 1.55
High activity level (exercise 6-7 times per week): OOH x 1.725
Very high activity level (exercise 2 times a day): OOH x 1.9
The result is the consumption of calories to maintain a normal weight.
For example, let's calculate the basal metabolism for a 25-year-old man with a height of 177 cm and a weight of 72 kg, which maintains a low level of activity.
OOV = (10* 72) + (6.25* 177) — (5* 25) + 5 = 1706
1956 * 1.375 = 2345.75
That is, to maintain a normal weight, this man needs to consume 2689 kcal.
If you want to lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than your body burns or burn more calories than you consume.
Since 3,500 kcal corresponds to approximately 0.45 kg of fat, you need to burn 3,500 kcal more than you consume to lose half a kilo
For example, to lose 0.5 kg per week, you need to reduce your calorie intake by 500 kcal per day.
