So you want to lose weight and want to know how many calories you should eat in order to achieve that:
First of all let’s remind us the number of calories contained in fats, proteins and carbohydrates:
1 gram of fat = 9 kilocalories ~ 37 kilojoules
1 gram of protein = 4 kilocalories ~ 16 kilojoules
1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 kilocalories ~ 16 kilojoules
And some more calorie values:
1 gram of alcohol = 7 kilocalories
1 gram of dietary fiber = 3 kilocalories
Having all these values in mind you can easily calculate the number of calories in food you eat every day. And how much calories you need a day is another question:
How to estimate your daily caloric needs
You can estimate your daily caloric intake with the Harris-Benedict formula. It helps you calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), i.e. the optimum amount of energy your body needs to function.
Let’s calculate your BMR
To do that you need to use your current weight, height and age in step ONE. It’s easy:

If you are searching for an easy to follow diabetic diet plan, then you are one of the few people searching for diabetic diets online. It’s not surprising, though…
Perhaps you either haven’t come across the Medifast Plus for Diabetics diet plan – the Diabetic 5 & 1 plan, or …
because diabetes is a serious disease and people diagnosed Type 2 diabetes are more likely to use conventional medication and listen to their doctors’ advices.
Patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes prefer to see face to face the diabetes specialists recommending them the diet menus and meal plans that they should follow, instead of reading some online reviews for miraculous and expensive diabetes cures.
It’s understandable why people don’t trust too much to the information on that topic – it’s unreliable and makes it really hard to separate the truth from the trash.

Losing 2-5 pounds a week is fast enough, that is why I think Medifast weight loss doesn’t really need to be speeded up. However, you can speed up the weight loss process by following some simple rules. I am not the inventor of these rules; I just collected the information to offer it to you into digestible chunks.
Rule Number 1 Avoid all tempting snacks and replace them with Medifast diet products
“Leave the chocolates alone and have a Medifast Chocolate Pudding instead, or a Medifast Hot Cocoa.”
That’ what Julie advises in her blog at Medifast official website. I could just add: or a Medifast chocolate bar.
As Valentin’s Day passed not long ago, and I’m sure you were so tempted to eat at least couple of yummy chocolates, right? My point is you should avoid tempting sweets and replace them with Medifast diet products every time you can. They are just as sweet and delicious as the original sweet products they replace.
Rule Number 2 Set up small achievable goals. (more…)
