To determine the amount of calories you burn at rest, you need to know your: weight, height, and age. With this information, you can determine your BMR (amount of energy your body needs to function at rest). Use the formula below which only applies to adult females:

655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age) = ____ calories

Fill in your weight, height and age. This number will be your daily calorie intake (or how many calories your body needs) without any exercise. This calculation will tell you how many calories your body needs-or how much it 'burns.'

Example: A woman who is 25 weighs 140lbs, and is 70 inches tall.

655 + (4.3 x 140lbs) + (4.7 x 70 inches) - (4.7 x 25) = 1469 calories

This woman would only need 1469 calories a day for her body to function at rest. Be sure to type this calculation into your calculator all at once, or else you might be getting answers close 9000 which is incorrect. To make sure you calculate your BMR correctly, try typing in the example above and see if you get the right answer.

How many calories are burnt in a marathon?

On average, when doing cardiovascular exercise you tend to burn about 100 calories every 10 minutes. Likewise when running on the treadmill at a 5.5 MPH rate, you will burn about 100 calories per mile. If you run faster than that, which most marathon runners do, you will obviously burn more calories per mile. But if a 5.5 MPH rate is held for 26 miles, than the runner will burn 2,600 calories.

How many calories does a woman's body need to burn for weight loss?

A womans body will automatically burn a certain amount of calories for energy just to sustain her bodily function. For an average woman it's 1500-2000 per day. The larger the woman, the more she will need to burn to live. Eating less than this each day will result in weight loss, because your body will burn your fat stores if you don't feed it all these calories each day. eating more will result in weight gain, because your body will store what it doesn't use. however, remember that energy is needed for everything you do and the more active you are the more your body will need and burn
