How to figure out how many calories of carbs does your body store before turning them into fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age, and gender : Normal body functions require a baseline of energy- approx. 12-1600 cal based on age, ht/wt , gender and genetic predisposition. If you have chronically dieted, consuming less than 1200 cal/day your body will adapt and burn less. The concept of increase energy use- exercise with reduced calories should prove to be a vital combination to lose weight.
