According to my BMI, my resting metabolism burns avg 1700 calories. My daily activity level ranges between 3,000 to 5,000 steps without exercise. Therefore, without exercise I must burn a minimum of 2,000 calories per day.

.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************

.

If, dieting is simply calories in versus calories out then the following should be true:

.

.

**If I burn 2,000 calories per day, without exercise**

.

**And, my calories consumed range from 1200 calories 5 days a week and 1500, 2 days a week**

.

**And, if I burn 300 calories per day, with exercise**

.

Then, the following calories burned should add up as follows:

.

******************************************************************************************************************************************

.

.

5 days a week, 2000 calories burned - 1200 consumed = 800 burned800 x 5 =4000

.

2 days a week, 2000 calories burned (without exercise) - 1500 calories consumed = 500 burned500 x 2 =1000

.

7 days a week, 300 calories burned through exercise!7 x 300 =2100#DIV/0!

.

Total7100/3,500 (calories per pound) = avg 2 pounds lost per week!
