How Many Daily Calories Do You Need
To Build Muscle And Burn Fat?

Calculating your average daily calories for the week is something you will need to do during your weekly WLC assessment.

Depending on your goal and your weight gain or weight loss during the past week, we will adjust your calories for the upcoming week. In order to do so, we're going to need to know how many calories you've been eating for the past week.

To calculate how many daily calories you've been eating for the past week, we will take an average of your daily caloric intake over the past seven days.

I will go through an example, and you'll see how easy it is to calculate this average. The table below shows your caloric intake for the week following the WLC calorie cycling diet.

Now, to calculate the average, we're going to take the sum of all the days. In other words, the first step you need to take is to add up all of the calories over the seven days.

In order to make all of this possible, you need to learn how to count calories. Counting calories is easy once you learn how.

So, get you a calculator or add the calories up in your head if you like to do it that way. I love doing calculations in my head. Keeps my math skills sharp.

You can also keep a database of all your calories in one of the good websites such as Fit Day or you can keep a database in Microsoft Excel.

Fit Day will easily keep track of everything for you if you take the time to enter the individual foods that you eat.

Now, let's add those calories up from the example in the table above:

3200 + 2800 + 3200 + 2800 + 3400 + 2800 + 2800 = 21,000 Calories

Now that you have the total calories, we will divide by the total number of days to get your average calorie intake. This is simple math and should be easy for most everyone.

Since there are 7 days in a week, divide your total by 7.

21,000 Calories / 7 days = 3,000 Calories / Day

So, you can see that your average daily calorie intake is 3,000 calories. We will increase or decrease that value for the upcoming week depending on your goals and your weight loss or weight gain.

To learn how to adjust your diet, see adjusting diet. You'll learn how to adjust your WLC diet during your weekly assessment now that you've learned how to calculate average daily calories.
