How Many Calories To Eat to Lose Weight?

Calories represent total amount of energy our body receives from such nutrients as

• carbohydrates,
  
• fats and
  
• proteins.

It is commonly considered that an average person spends about 2,000 calories per day to sustain main body functions.  With exercise, the amount of calories is increasing.  Smaller people need less calories than taller and bigger ones.  Women need less calories than men.

Calories alone should never be used to design a diet.  To lose weight it is important to have a diet that balances all nutrients and minerals in an optimal way for body to burn fat but to preserve lean tissues and muscles.

For example, 4 pieces of cake will supply you with approximately 2,000 calories, but this in no way will be a diet to lose weight, let alone a healthy diet.
