How To Use Metabolic Rate To Lose Weight

Health And Fitness : Top Health Tips

Once you have your metabolic rate for yourself you can easily then work out what you need to do to either lose or gain weight, or stay constant, depending on what your individual target for yourself is.

Note that if you are a very active person on their feet most of the time you might want to multiply your RMR by 0.5 to reflect this, which would take it to extra calories burnt.

If your RMR is 2,000 and you added on another 1,000 for an active life style each day, then this means that you can actually have the 2,500 calories a day recommendation and still actually lose weight.

However if you do a very sedentary office job and little exercise but still have the same weight of 200 pounds and hence the RMR of 2,000 then having 2,500 in your case may actually put on a little weight each day.

The point is that it is all relative to the exercise you do and the calories you burn during the day, so the guideline amounts are just that - guidelines and not absolutes.
