Tip: Snack smarter. Start your week by doing the Monday 2000! Stay within the recommended 2000 calorie limit by snacking on fruits, vegetables and low-fat cheese.
Recommended daily calorie intake is very important because if you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight.
You control the amount of food you consume daily. Our basal metabolic rate (BMR) determines the number of calories we will burn a day. Our activity level and lifestyle also determine the number of calories we need to consume daily to maintain our weight or lose some weight.
If you want to lose weight, it’s important to decrease the recommended daily calorie intake to less than 2000. However, you need to eat a sufficient amount of fruits, vegetables and protein for a healthy diet.
One more tip — shift your calories by fluctuating your daily intake from below 2000 to 2500 to keep your metabolism revved up while you are losing weight.
