Food Addiction Recovery – #24
Food addiction recovery usually means once you have learned about calories, protein, carbohydrates and fats that you figure out how many calories are right for you. Have you ever wondered how many calories you need per day? The answer is “it depends.” It depends on your sex, current weight, desired weight, activity level, amount of lean muscle mass, and various other things. If you want a good handle on how many calories you need daily for stopping food addiction then click here. The “quick and dirty ballpark” answer is about 10 to 15 calories for each pound you want to weigh. Want to weigh 100 pounds? Eat between 1000 to 1500 calories per day. This is an extremely rough estimate method. To hone in on it a bit better a male with moderate activity daily needs maybe 15 calories per pound but if that male sits at a desk and never works out then only 13 calories per pound. A female who is moderately active needs maybe 12 calories per pound but an inactive female might only need 10 per pound. I suggest you go to the website and get the best answer.
How Do They Figure Calories
Well it is not exactly rocket science and the quick and dirty is that calories are a form of measurement like inches or pounds. In the old days they burned some food and measured the amount of heat the burned food created and called it a calorie. Now these days it is down to a simple formula of 4 calories per gram of protein, 4 calories per gram of carbohydrates and 9 calories per gram of fat. Of course most foods are not pure one or the other so they have to figure out how much of each to determine the calories of what you are eating. You can see in food addiction reducing fat pays off well.
