How To Maintain Your Current Weight

I've just read this simple 'Health Bites' from Women's Weekly that if you wanna maintain your current weight is really simple and easy.

Follow this step :

Your body weight in kg multiply with 101.3 for an idea of the number of kilojoules (kJ) you can eat in order to maintain your current weight.

If you prefer to know the number in calories.... just multiply the kilojoules with 0.239

Example: If I wanna maintain my weight of 55kg (if only I'm 55kg).

55kg x 101.3 = 5,571.50 kJ

5,571.50 kJ x 0.239 = 1,331.60 calories

Just calculate what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and anything between. Add up. As long the number doesn't exceed the number of calories of kJ that your body needs.


For your info, this calculation was based on no exercise needed in order to maintain the current weight.
