calories for active lifestyle
For example, if you weigh 115 pounds, multiply 24 by 115, which is 2,760. Divide that number by 2.2. Your basal metabolic rate is 1,254 calories. Getting enough calories to support your active lifestyle requires you to consume more than your specific basal metabolic rate. Generally women who are moderately active need between 2,000 and 2,200 calories, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010.
