Estimating Metabolism


very easy way to estimate you resting metabolism is to simply multiply you weight by 10.

Example: A body weight of 188 multiplied by 10 would be 1880 calories. This would be the amount of calories you would burn in a 24 hour period at rest. For those who are trying to lose weight, if you consume a diet that is equal to this amount it will be plenty adequate for healthy weight loss.
