Question 1

i wish to find how many calories to lose weight calculator preferred?

Accepted Answer

Food quality: Is as important as quantity. Get rid of all forms of sugar and sweeteners and you will lose weight.

Question 2

i used an online calculator to calculate calories i need to maintain and it says 2094 per day. if i eat 1300-1600 calories per day and burn 300 + with exercise. do i add my burned calories during excercise to the calories i'm cutting out with food?

Accepted Answer

Losing weight?: The decrease in calories combined with calories burned exercising will give you an idea of if your calories expended exceeds your calories  taken in.

Question 3

calories burned, is it all voodoo? hr monitor, elliptical, and online calculators differ by up to 50%. is one more accurate? i'm 250 lbs, ffm 180 lbs

Accepted Answer

Overestimate: I do believe MANY machines in gyms and online calculators grossly overestimate calories burned. Probably a high quality programmable hear rate monitor is the most accurate.

Question 4

all the online calculators give different results. how many calories burned: 20yo 5"2 female, 113lbs, walked on treadmill 3.8 miles in 51 min. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Track weight: Calculation of caloric expenditure is only an approximation. Weighting yourself under similar conditions every day may be more reliable. For example if you weigh yourself at rising in the morning.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 5

what should my calorie intake be to lose weight? my first doctor said 1200 but calculators say 2100. 310lbs 5'3" female 22 years old. thank you!

Accepted Answer

It depends on the: desired rate of loss. Bottom line is that there are about 3,500 calories per pound. It you eat far too few calories - it will actually cause your metabolic rate to slow (bad thing). In general - slower rate of loss is better. AND don't forget about exercise. Take care.

Question 6

can you burn more calories walking or cycling?

Accepted Answer

Probably cycling: There are calculators available on the internet to help you figure out how many calories you burn with different activities based on your weight, such as this one from healthstatus:
http://www.Healthstatus.Com/calculate/cbc

you can directly compare activities. For example, a 150 lb person biking 12-14 mph for 1 hr would burn 594 calories compared to 297 calories walking 3 mph for 1 hr.

Question 7

can you burn more calories biking or walking one mile?

Accepted Answer

Depends on speed: Depends on exercise intensity, terrain, weight but a bicycle is a very efficient means of transportation so it would be much harder to burn the same calories on a bike.

Question 8

what is the amount of calories do you burn walking 1 mile?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: It depends on height, weight, body mass and the speed at which you walk.

Question 9

who burns more calories when walking, short or tall people?

Accepted Answer

Heavy people: Except for wind resistance, height has little to do with how much energy is used when walking. It takes more energy to move a heavy object than a light object including your body!

Question 10

could adding extra weight in walking benefit burning calories?

Accepted Answer

YES: You will burn more calories by caring more wt.
But the amt of increase will not be much.
