How to Determine Desirable Weight and Body Composition How to make a weight management plan –A weight management plan is based on caloric intake and caloric expenditure. –Caloric intake is the number of calories a person takes in from foods and beverages. –Caloric expenditure is the number of calories a person uses for basal metabolic rate, digestion, and physical activity.

Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information. Weight Gain/Loss To gain weight, your caloric intake > caloric expenditure To lose weight, your caloric intake < caloric expenditure –The energy equivalent of one pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. To lose one pound, decrease caloric intake by 3500 calories and maintain the same amount of activity or increase caloric expenditure by 3500 calories. Regular exercise will increase the proportion of weight loss from body fat.

Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information. Harris-Benedict Formula To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:BMR If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2 If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55 If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
