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.

Should you burn more calories than you take in?

If you are planning to lose weight, burning more calories than you take in is one of the steps to get you there.If you need to gain weight instead, taking in more calories than you burn would be advisable.If you want to maintain your current weight, taking in and burning about the same number of calories would be a step in the right direction.However, in all of the above scenarios, the number of calories is just one aspect of the effort. The quality of the calories you take in and the quality of the physical activity that helps you burn calories also play important roles.
