Best Answer

Counting calories is helpful for maintaining a good and healthy diet because it will help you to ensure that the amount of calories you consume each day is less than the amount of calories you burn up. First, you must decide how many calories you should consume each day. For women and teenagers, it is 2,000-3,000 calories per day. For most men it averages around 2,500 calories per day. This depends on your build, such as muscle content and height.

How much are people willing to spend on a calorie counting machine?

I would spend up to $600.00 for a machine you could put food in and it would tell you the amount of calories in whatever it is you put in there. I picture it as a small microwave type box that you shut the door of, push a button and it measures the heat index (calories). It would be nice if it measured fats and sugars too, but calories are good to start.

Is human digestion harmful or helpful?

Helpful, without it you could not digest your food.


How could you determine the number of calories that you need in one day to be healthy?

The rule that a doctor told me was to multiply your weight by 10 and that is what your daily intake should be to maintain your weight. Similarly if you want to lose weight, tally your daily intake for a week, find your average daily intake, and reduce that by 500 calories. So for instance I weight 175 pounds, so I should be consuming 1750 to maintain my body weight.


How do you stop eating at night?

I had trouble eating at night.. And during the day. It didn't change until my attitude and understanding about food changed. I did that by counting calories. I counted the calories for everything I ate and drank. It was hard at first (especially searching for the calories in certain foods) but after a few weeks it hit me, I AM IN CONTROL. It was liberating because suddenly what I ate became a choice--and I could choose moderation. Don't focus too much on when you eat. Focus on what and how much.
