Calculate How Many Calories You Burn at Rest

Calculating Calories Burned at Rest

To find how many calories you burn in a 24-hour period at a resting state (without moving/activity) you will need to know your exact bodyweight in kilograms.

1 kg = 2.2 lbs

1 lb= 454g

To find calories burned per day, the formula is as follows; 

Body-weight in kilograms (KG) multiplied by 24 = total calories burned per day.

Therefore, a 180lb individual would burn 1,963 calories per day.

Example: 180 / 2.2 = 81.81 x 24 = 1,963 calories per day.

Knowing calorie expenditure per day can help when determining how to cut calories from a diet if the primarily goal is weight loss.
