If your looking to either loose weight or even put weight on, knowing your daily calorie requirements will be very helpful in achieving your goal. Your daily calorie requirements can be calculated by finding out your Basal Metabolic Rate. This is the amount of energy your body requires in order to carry out its everyday functions at rest such as breathing, digestion, your heart pumping blood around the body, etc.
Its very simple to understand that the more calories you take in through eating, the more exercise you would need to do to work them off to loose weight. So knowing how much calories your body needs each day, means you can then see how many calories you would have to work off.
The more active you are, the greater the demand for calories.
To loose weight you should reduce your total daily requirements in stages over a period of time (by approximately 200 calories) If you were to consume more calories than your daily requirement and didn't work them off, they will inevitably store as fat, which is not what we want.
So, if you would like to calculate your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) then please follow this link and get on your way to achieving your goal.
