How to Count Carbohydrates to Lose Weight
Recommended Answer:
You're BMI is 27, so whilst its considered overweight it is not by much. At these levels I would aim for a loss of about 1lbs a week.Without exercise your calorie count will be about 1250 calories per day. But since you train around 4 times a week, that's an average of 150 extra calories burnt every day of the week.Total calorie count will be around 1400 caloriesHope that helps
Other Answers:
- I would try going for 1500 calories
- You should be eating 1,600 to 1,800 calories for a slow and healthy weight loss, you don't want your body to go in to "starvation mode" to try to maintain your current body weight.
