Just an interesting new awareness of what I'm working off in a day and how much food I should be eating to keep me going . . .

Calories you burn in a day:

1. Multiply body weight by 10 = resting metabolic rate
2. For a sedentary lifestyle, multiply #1 by 20-40%; For moderately active, multiply by 40-60%; for very active, multiply by 60-80%.
3. If you run, bike, swim, do aerobics, etc. - you burn about 100 calories per mile, or 10 calories per minute.
4. Add results from steps 1, 2, and 3 together and the total will be your total daily calorie expenditure.
