Body Math

Staying at home has been a change for many of us. Some of us are eating more, some are eating less. But what do we really need to stay healthy and either lose, gain, or maintain weight? Here’s website with a helpful tool.

BMR Calculator

Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate. It will tell you how many calories you need just to exist, then show you increased amounts based on increased levels of activity. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.

Don’t feel like you need to count every calorie, but have a general idea of what goes into your mouth (1 Tbsp olive oil is almost the same number of calories as a 5 oz glass of merlot or 5 Hershey kisses). It’s the incidentals that add up!

More questions? Let me know.

  1. Great post. Gratefully I’ve lost 45 lbs since December 2020. I’m always looking at BMI.

    Thanks Carol!
