_Example of Finding Number of Calories Needed_

1. Determine normal weight by rule.

2. Multiply normal weight by number of calories needed per pound per
day.

For example, say you weigh 220 or 125 lbs., but by the rule for your
height your weight should be 150 lbs.; then 150 would be the number you
would use.

[Sidenote: _Work Out Your Requirements_]

By the rule I have given, adults require 15-20 Calories per pound per
day, depending upon activity. For example, if you have no physical
activities, then take the lowest figure, 15. 150x15--2250. Therefore
your requirement, if your weight should be 150, is 2250 Calories per
day.

Now, if you want to lose, cut down 500-1000 Calories per day from that.

Five hundred Calories equal approximately 2 ounces of fat. Two ounces
