To lose 1 kg, theoretically I have to cut back on 3850 calories per week or 550 calories per day.
another opinion:
7709 Kcal = 1 Kg
I am not sure which is right... 3850 or 7700 ?
Basal Metabolic Rate
The BMR is the rate at which you burn calories while performing daily functions like sleeping and breathing. These are the calories your body needs just to lay down all day. This is the largest factor in understanding how many calories you need to eat to maintain, gain or lose weight in a healthy way.
There are several different formulas that are used to calculate BMR since it is based on a number of factors, like age, sex, weight and height. You can go online and find a BMR calculator that will do this calculation for free. Here is an accurate formula that is widely used.
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X weight in kg) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X weight in kg) + (1.8 X height in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)
After you find your BMR, you're going to want to take your daily activity into account to get a more accurate reading. Use this formula:
Activity Multiplier
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)
