Below is your BMR number so that it will be easier to calc calorie intake versus calorie outtake. Your BMR is the number of calories your body burns in a day when operating at absolute minimum capacity. Basically, imagine sitting on the couch all day. (Is this a little too easy for you to imagine? Don't worry — we'll fix that!) Your BMR, then, is the number of calories your body burns just to maintain your heartbeat, digestion, respiration, tissue repair and other organ functions. That's it.
BMR is influenced by a number of factors, including age, weight, height, gender, and environmental temperature, and diet and exercise habits. Because of these varying factors, it's hard to pin down your BMR to the precise calorie, but we can get pretty close.
By the by, if you are not a guy please let me know as I have calc'd almost everyone's BMR based on gender of Male.
