Because your goal is to lose weight, your target = BMR – 500 kcal

For example, your weigh is 140 lb and you are involved in 20 mins of moderate activity each day. BMR of this example = (140 x 15) + (20 x 3.5) = 2100 + 70 = 2170 kcal. BMR minus 500kcal; it would be 2170 – 500 = 1670 kcal. As a result, 1670 kcal is the goal in this example to lose 1 lb per week.

Have at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day
