Count the Calories You Burn a Day to Maximize Your Weight Loss

Matthew Beavers

  Counting calories that you eat is important, but you must not forget to count the calories you burn off also. It is essential to take the whole caloric picture into consideration to get the most out of your calorie counting efforts.

  Before you start counting calories you burn a day you should determine your body mass index.

  How do you figure out your body mass index? - Find a website that will help you to calculate your BMI. Just Google "how to figure out body mass index" and you should have no trouble finding one. The site will ask you for your height and weight. For me I am 5'7" and weight 155. So my BMI is 22.7.
