Fat loss
Before starting any Fat Loss program, your first step is to calculate your daily calories requirement. Everybody’s
height/weight/age is different so they need different calories. Follow the 3 steps below to find out your caloric intake
to gain muscle.
STEP 1: CALCULATE THE BMR
Use Online BMR calculator or BMR Mobile. App.
Enter Height/Weight/Age.
Let’s take an Example:
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 160 lbs (72.5 kg)
Your BMR came 1700, after using the BMR calculator,
STEP 2: CALCULATE THE MAINTENANCE. CALORIES
[FORMULA: BMR x 1.5 (If you are. MODERATE ACTIVE (3-5days)]
[FORMULA: BMR x 1.7 (If you are VERY. ACTIVE (5-6days)
EXAMPLE: If you Moderate Active
1700 x 1.5 = 2550 calories
So maintenance calories are 2550.
(Maintenance calories, or your “total daily. energy expenditure” (TDEE) is simply the. amount of energy you expend in a day)
STEP 3: REDUCE CALORIES FOR FAT LOSS
FAT LOSS (-250 cal in Deficit)
If you want to lose 0.5 lbs per week then reduce 250 calories. [2550 - 250 = 2300]
EXTREME FAT LOSS (-500 cal in Deficit)
If you want to lose 1 lbs per week then reduce 500 calories. [2550 - 500 = 2050]
WEIGHT LOSS (-1000 cal in Deficit)
If you want to lose 2 lbs per week then reduce 1000 calories. [2550 - 1000 = 1550]
MACRO BREAKDOWN FOR FAT LOSS
CARBOHYDRATES (30-35%)
PROTEIN (45-50%)
FATS (15-20%)
