Revision as of 15:53, 22 December 2021
Inspired by The Hacker's Diet I got my estimated daily totals from How Many Calories Should You Eat Per Day to Lose Weight? and I used Calories to Kilojoules (kJ) conversion for conversions.
Estimated daily calories
| # | To... | Cal | kJ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | To maintain weight | 2,702 | 11,305 |
| 2 | To lose weight | 2,161 | 9,041 |
| 3 | To lose weight fast | 1,621 | 6,782 |
If, over a period of time, the calories in the food you eat exceed the calories you burn by 3500, you'll put on about a pound. Conversely, if you reduce your food intake so that you burn 3500 calories more than you eat, you'll lose about a pound.
- 3,500 cal * 4.184 = 14,644 kJ
- 1 pound = 0.4535924 kg; 1 kg = 2.204623 lbs
- 14,644 * 2.204623 = 32,285 kJ to lose 1 kg
