How many calories does your body burn per hour?
Q. Okay, I know you burn more calories while active, but how many does your body burn even if you're not exercising?
Asked by Hulkzilla - Sat Jan 10 15:34:39 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This has got to do with your basal metabolic rate (BMR). It's the calories you burn while at rest and while you're carrying on your normal daily activities like breathing, studying, watching TV, reading, sweating, watering plants, cooking or working at your desk... In short, the calories you need to keep your body function in a normal, healthy manner. BMR depends on gender and body weight. Here's a guide on how to determine BMR:

A. You probably burn 1700-2200 calories a day, depending on your size...see the calcualtor below. The calories you burn in a day is called your Basal Metaboic Rate (BMR). Hope that helped. - Mike

will my body burn muscle instead of fat for energy while i run?
Q. K well the last time i ate was 7pm last night. I was on yahoo answers and somebody wrote a post that if you last eat at 7pm and eat again at 7am then thats 12 hours without food, meaning your body is in starvation mode. I just ate oatmeal and i am eatiing strawberries + an apple. At 9:00am i'm going to go running, will my body burn my muscles instead of my fat?

A. Not to start with, but after about 30 minutes (if you havent eaten breakfast) it will start to tap into your fat reserves. Anything after 45 minutes and it will start to tap into your muscle reserves for fuel and energy.

Does the body burn more fat exercising when it's hot or cold?
Q. I've heard that warm muscles burn fat more effectively, but I've also heard that when it's cold the body burns more calories trying to maintain a normal body temperature. Which is true?
Asked by Caitlin - Wed Jul 16 22:04:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. ok here is your answer. When the temperature outside is hot like during the mid summer, yes your body will naturally desire less food and more liquid, resulting in either an easy maintanence of weight or a weight loss of some sort. When the temperature gets cold in the winter, lets take the midwest for example (California doesn't count) the body naturally wants to hold onto weight or pack on the "winter 10" to keep warm. So there you go, it is much easier to lose and burn in the summer than in the winter.

How does the body "decide" which fat stores to burn when losing weight?
Q. While working out and watching my diet, I shed fat everywhere except my belly. Does the body burn certain stores of fat more readily than others, or perhaps burn fat stores in a certain order?
Asked by Chris C - Fri Jan 15 19:13:17 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It depends on where your body is genetically inclined to hold onto fat. Some people it's the gut, others its the man boobs lol... Just keep it up and eventually the fat from your stomach will go away. I myself hold a lot of my fat in the love handles and legs, but through years of eating right and working out constantly I got rid of it :D

A.

Lumberjacks were known to consume over 10,000 calories in a day and still stay VERY trim. Oh yeah...age...if you are under 25 or so, your bones are still finishing up the final details, so you'll be burning more calories. This is the main reason why suddenly after over 2 decades of pigging out and not gaining weight, there is a sudden shift and the same food causes us to balloon.

When you starve yourself, why does your body burn muscle instead of fat?
Q. Why is it that the body will start to burn muscle instead of fat when calorie intake is reduced dramatically? If this is true, why is one of the criteria for being diagnosed as anorexic having an extremely low body fat percentage, rather than an extremely low muscle mass percentage?
Asked by Tchau Bela - Sun May 23 13:55:12 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Muscle is highly metabolic, meaning it requires energy to maintain. Fat, on the other hand, is inert and requires little to no energy to maintain. When your body is starved, it shuts down, and to preserve itself, it gets rid of anything and everything that requires energy to maintain. Therefore, your muscles go and your fat stays. Being diagnosed as anorexic requires very low body weight, not low muscle mass percentage.

how many calories does the body burn a day without exercise?
Q. if i burn an extra 1000 calories through excercise surley this with the normal calories the body burns will lose weight?
Asked by nadiah e - Sat Jun 23 06:51:29 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A pound of fat you need to lose is 3,500 calories you need to burn extra. If you burn an extra 1,000 calories through exercise, you could lose a pound of fat every 3 and a half days unless you eat too much (about 2 pounds/week). How many calories your body burns a day is based on your gender and your weight: Calculate your BMR (Basal Metaboolic Rate): BMR: women: lbs x 0.453 = kilograms x 7.18 + 795 BMR: men: lbs x 0.453 = kilograms x 10.2 + 879

Is it true that if you eat more meals a day ( 5 to 6) Your body will start to burn off stored fat?
Q. I have been eating healthier and exercising more and drinking alot of water and juices. But I'm not budging on the scales. I have been doing nutritional research alot and they say that if you eat 5 to 6 small meals a day that your body will have more energy and not store fat. So in tern will that start to burn the fat that you already have stored? It would make sense. Like how your body will retain water especially when it is not getting it everyday and enough of it,and stores it because your bosy goes into survival mode. So won't that be the same truth to eating? Because we all know that if we dont eat enough we will not lose the weight, which I have discovered myself. So if your body is storing fat is is in survival mode, or we eat too… [cont.]

The fuel to produce this energy comes from several sources, mostly fat and carbs (glucose), and occasionally amino acids (protein). How and when fat is burned (or metabolized to provide energy for the body) and how that affects body fat levels and weight is a very complex area of physiology research.

On this wise, those wishing to lose weight may well be more successful if they don't sleep as warm, either from a lighter dinner, or manipulation of the night insulation/ room temperature setting. The calorie specifically is a measure of heat energy, like the BTU of furnaces.

Q. so i've been told to burn 500 more then what i consume. so if i'm only consuming 1200 per day, does that mean that i have to work out for several hours to burn 1700 calories, or how many calories does you body use just to function throughout the day? i don't mind working out, i work out for at least 2 hours a day jogging and light weights and mostly cardio, but i'm just curious as to how hard i should push myself.
