Question: how to determine how many calories to consume?
Answer: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55.
