OK, I'm trying to figure this out. You say that you need to burn 500 more calories than I eat right? How do I figure out what my ideal calorie intake is? I just joined the site and it doesn't seem to answer that question. Also, what kinds of activities will burn the necessary calories? So If I eat 1200 calories then I need to burn 1700 calories? Just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. I appreciate the answers. |

Your ideal caloric intake depends on you. You only need to burn 500 calories a day MORE than you consume to lose one pound of fat per week. So, if you burn 1200 per day just by living and you consume 1100 calories than you will need to exercise and burn an additional 400 calories in order to reach your goal. Check out the Health & Nutrition article entitled, "The fastest way to burn..." for more information. Good luck! |

My question is - Im a 41 year old male trying to lose 15 lbs. I know how many calores I should consume and burn each day, but how many grams of carbs should I consume each day? I lift weights 4 days per week and some type of aerobics 4-5 times per week.
Thanxs |

There is no set number of carbs you should consume each day but we suggest carbohydrates make up about 50% of your daily caloric intake. Check out the Health & Nutrition article entitled, "Is Cutting Carbs..." for more information. |

Hi, there! Because I eat a lot of Weight Watcher's meals that have the nutrional information listed (calories, fat, carbs, etc.), will I be able to input this nutrional information in to the USER MEALS area instead of choosing '1 oz chicken' and '1 oz pasta' ? Thanks in advance. (I hope I am clear enought.) |

You will find some of Weight Watchers meals already in our database. When one you haven eaten isn't there, simply click "Add your own food" and enter the nutritional information (don't forget to include portion size). We review all foods that are entered by fatburn.com users and add them to our database if appropriate.
