    A. Take your weight (in pounds) and multiply it by 11: _____. This the amount of calories your body burn to stay alive.

    175 (me) X 11 = 1,925 calories

    B. Multiply the value you calculated for A by 1.5: _____. This is how many calories your body burns going through normal, daily activities.

    1,925 X 1.5 = 2,887.5 calories

    C. Multiply the number of minutes per week you lift weights by 5: _____.
    (For example, four one-hour workouts per week would be 240 minutes.)

    2 X 30 = 60 (twice a week at 30 minutes)


    D. Multiply the number of minutes per week you run, cycle, or play sports by 8: _____.

    90 mins x 8 = 270

    E. Add the values for C and D, then divide by 7: _____.

    60 + 270 = 330, 330 / 7 = 41.14

    F. Add the values for B and E to get your daily calorie needs: _____.
    (This is the number of calories you need to maintain your body weight in your current lifestyle.)

    2887.5 + 41.14 = 2934 calories

    Another more simple calorie to weight calculator I've seen (also from Men's Health) has been:

    Current/desired weight X 12 = the calories you need to take to achieve that current/desired weight. (However this does not take into account exercising - if you do exercise (duh ride a bike) then use the formula above) For me it's like an additional 1000 calories..an In-an-Out Cheeseburge is 480 calories and a Double Double is 670.

    Shouldn't C be 300 if you take the minutes of weights per week times 5?

    I already know the math for my body:

    Reduce beer intake X ride more = slim belly (until I drink more beer, don't ride a lot or both).
