Figure out how many calories your body burns in a day! This calculator will give you an estimate of your basal metabolic rate - the number of calories per day your body burns.

Always talk to your doctor before changing your diet or beginning a new exercise program. In general, if your goal is to lose weight by burning off excess body fat, aim to eat 500 fewer calories per day than your daily caloric needs, and maintain or increase your exercise activity. Never drop below 1200 calories per day unless you are on a medically supervised weight loss program.
