Counting
Calories - Daily Calorie Intake & Calorie Count
An Easy Way To Count Calories
With the 10x rule, you pay attention to total daily calorie intake and meal to meal distribution.
If you feel your own weight loss efforts
require the discipline of counting calories to keep
you on track, but you're not too keen on spending a
lot of time figuring out complex formulas and ratios,
then you might want to give
the simple 10x rule a try.
With the 10x rule, you pay
attention to total daily calorie intake and meal to
meal distribution. Here's how it works:
Let's say you're a 200 lbs. male
looking to go through a restricted calorie phase to
help motivate some stubborn fat to drop. Using the 10x
rule, you want to consume 10 times your body weight
in total daily calories.
So in this example you should shoot for 10 x 200, or
2000
total daily calories. Easy.
Here's the tricky part. In order
to get and keep your metabolism burning on high, you
want to make sure you divide these calories as evenly
as possible over 4-6 meals per day. So our 200 lbs.
male could eat 5 meals of about 400 calories each, or
6 meals of around 330 calories each, etc.
As always you should organize your
meals around lean sources of protein, keep the processed
carbs (sugar) to a minimum, and drink plenty of water.
For women looking to successfully
drop some weight, you might find that an 8x rule works
best. So you want to consume 8 times your current body
weight in calories per day. And, of course, you also
need to stick to the 4-6 meals per day routine.
