How many calories should you eat per meal and snack to lose fat?



99 % of the population does not know how much they should be eating per meal and snack. Chances are you don't either. Use the scale below to get on track. Once you find out, have breakfast within one hour and don't go 4 hours without eating!This scale is based on 3 meals with 2 snacks in between:

Women:

(bodyweight x 2.4)= calories per meal.

For example if Mary weighs 150 pounds

(150 x 2.4) = 360 per meal

Mary's 2 snacks should be half the calories of her meal:

360/2= 180 calories

Mary should eat 360 calories per meal and 180 calories per snack to get leaner.

Men:

(bodyweight x 10.75)= daily calories

For example if John weighs 217 pounds

(217 x 2.7) = 586 calories a meal

John's 2 snacks should be half the calories of his meal:

586/2= 293 calories per snack

John should eat 586 calories per meal and 293 calories per snack to get leaner.

There it is!

Now calculate your caloric intake.

Good luck!

Damn I eat way too much then!
hmmmm Cut back yummy sushi intake now or continue as is and contribute to the growing fat deposit around my belly to prepare for the great famine of 2012? Tough choice...

Yeah, I eat...and drink...too much too. Shoot, between coffee, wine, Ice and ice tea there are a lot of unconscious calories I'm consuming. I'm going to keep these numbers in the forefront of my mind and work on becoming more conscious. Thank you.
