Heres my Daily Needs info:
You are a 20 year old man, 5ft 3in / 160cm tall, with a current weight of 130.0lbs. You lead a somewhat active lifestyle, and participate in the following exercise:
30 minutes of jog/walk combination
15 minutes of rope jumping, slow (I did this for warm-up exercising)
480 minutes of walking, <2.0 mph, level ground (I used this one for me working all day)
(This is all accurate for me, and to do yours go here:
[link] BE HONEST- This will tell you all of these examples I am posting for myself.)
Body Mass Index (BMI)
My BMI
23.0
BMI is a standardized ratio of weight to height, and is often used as a general indicator of health. The "normal" BMI for an adult man of your height is 18.5 to 24.9. This translates to a healthy weight range of 104 to 141 lbs.However, BMI does not take body composition into account. A weight above this range could still be considered healthy if your percentage body fat is less than average. For more accurate determination of body fat levels, consider using a body fat caliper.
Calories Burned
Your Calories Burned
Daily Energy Expenditure: 2509 kcal ( 10505 kJ)
Additional Calories from Exercise: + 730.0 kcal ( 3056 kJ)
Estimated Energy Requirement:3239.0 kcal ( 13561 kJ)
What this is saying is I NEED to eat 2509 calories to live each day. Meaning I WONT gain weight if I stay under that.(But this is in a somewhat active lifestyle. Recalculate for days off work)
Heres a calorie calculator for future use when you exercise. (You burn calories when you sleep, stand all day, etc.)
[link]Recommended Macro-nutrient Distribution (Theres a chart you can use to find foods in these ranges
[link] Try to get as close as you can, I couldnt find 65:35:35, I had to use: 50:20:30)
My Recommended Ranges
Carbohydrate: 45 to 65% of total Calories
Fat: 20 to 35% of total Calories
Protein: 10 to 35% of total Calories
The Calories burned is important to know how much you can eat in a day.
But again, I'm wondering, would the websites here still be appropriate for my use (since I'm asian)... *shrugs* but it should be more or less alright eh~ hmmm~
There is no problem with my Body Mass Index, but the only activity i do all day is walk to get from my bed to the kitchen in the morning XD (or almost).
I should do a sport.
