Question to the fitness gurus here.
What is the best way to calculate Kilojoule/Calorie intake per day?

Do you like to calculate your metabolism? (your energy use in rest)
For men:
88,362 + (your weight_in_kg X 13,397) + (length_in_cm X 4,799) - (age_in_years X 5,677)
(Sorry guys only in kg and cm ... )
The outcome (in kcal) is the energy that you are using doing nothing (only sitting on a chair)
Do you eat more then you gain in weight .. when you eat less you will drop in weight. (Doing nothing). Ofcourse you can still eat more cal and still loose weight if you burn cals with cardio and workouts.
So as soon as you are moving you'll burn cals ... (even while you eat you will burn some cal)
If you like to calculate your daily cal / proteine % / carbs % / fats % based on your food intake. I use an excell file to do those food calculations for me.
