10 Tips For Weight Loss for WOMEN

Tip 1: Find out how many calories you need

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) BMR [kcal] Body Weight [Wt] x 24hrs x ( 1 for men, 0.9 for women)  + (moderate activity [mins/day] x 1.35) Since you wish to lose weight, your target = BMR - 500 kcal For instance, you weigh 60 kgs and you perform 20 mins of moderate activity every day. BMR of this example = (60 x 24 x 0.9)  x 1.5) =1944   kcal. BMR minus 500kcal; it would be 1944 - 500 = 1444 kcal.
