FREE Calorie / Goal Calculator
How many calories do you need to reach or maintain your goal weight? There are a LOT of online calculators. Ours allows you to choose a timeframe to meet your goals... I like that. Specific timelines are great motivation to keep us going. As you plug in your numbers below, don't trap yourself in the "as quick as possible" mentality. It takes time to reach goals. While it might not be sexy, slow and steady really does win the race - and allows you to make true and lasting lifestyle changes, rather than another yo-yo diet.
You'll get two results below... one telling you how many calories you need to stay right where you're at, based on your activity, and one telling you how many calories to take in to meet your goal. Re-run the calculator often - specifically after every 5lb weight loss.
So, now what? The calculator above is a great resource to help you find a guideline... I encourage you to not be tied down to it. Don't be afraid to adjust along the way - tweak it until you find your nutritional sweet-spot. Listen to your body - track your progress and re-run the calculator as needed. Recipe For Fitness, offers a variety of nutrition plans as downloads, just choose the caloric-goal that's right for you. If you want a custom nutritional plan, designed for you and that will adjust with your progress, contact us.
