How Many Calories Should You be Eating?

When we're dieting, trying to watch your weight or trying to lose weight, we're typically trying to eat as few calories as possible so that we can drop the pounds. But while we're often trying to eat less calories to lose weight, we often forget that we are supposed to eat a certain number of them to be able to burn the calories and be successful in our workouts.

Dr. Martica Heaner says, in this article, there's no exact number that each person should be guided by and that while every body is different, the best we can do is guess how many calories we should be eating based on our own individual body types.

Several factors, mostly including our BMI, determine how many calories we should be eating. But according to Dr. Heaner, there are ways to tell if you are eating enough calories. For example, if you feel overwhelmingly hungry immediately a workout, you most likely are not eating enough and your body will not be as productive as it could during your workout.
