Exercise alone won't do anything if you're eating at a surplus.I use a simple formula to calculate baseline calorific needs, which is body weight converted into lbs x 14.Therefore if you weight 10 stones, thats 140lbs, in which case 140lbs x 14 = 1960kcal. This is the amount of calories you would need to consume to MAINTAIN your body weight. Eating at maintenance with exercise should in theory lead to weight loss, but to accelerate things you could lower your daily calorie intake by 3-500 kcal. In which case eating at 1490-1690 kcal a day would lead to greater weight loss.Download MyFitness Pal, it's free and will calculate calories for you, it's awesome as you can scan items in/find most foods from its database. A very good way to track calories.</blockquote>
