A: To determine the amount of calories you need to achieve a safe weight loss, we must know the amount of calories you need to maintain your present weight. For this we will have to assess your daily activities and lifestyle.

Total Calories = BMR + Lifestyle + Activity.

In order to lose weight, you will have to cut down on the required calories per day and create a negative calorie balance.

14.) What is negative calorie balance ?

A: Negative calorie balance can be created by consuming less calories than the calories you extend in a day. When we consume more calories than what our body uses in a day, the excessive calories get stored in our body in the form of fat. This fat store can be used to provide energy whenever we take in less calories than we need for our bodily functions.

Approximately 750 calories will be converted into 100 grams of fat in the body. So, if over a period we consume 7500 calories less, we burn 1 kg of fat from our body.
