As you know, calories are expended on any business we are dealing with. Of course, for energy costs, work in the shop and washing are different, but we have to subtract both. How many calories do ordinary things take away from us, and how can they be used with benefit for the figure?
How much calories are consumed per day?
Let's calculate how many kilocalories are spent when we do ordinary things, not attending a gym or working in the garden.
Morning
On dressing, washing we take about 20 minutes of time, and lose 31 kilocalories. If breakfast is not cooked, then in 10 minutes it takes 8 kilocalories. The hair styling takes 15 minutes, and takes away 35 kilocalories.
A trip to work and home driving a car ideally will take an hour and will save 101 kilocalories. Work at the computer takes the same amount, and if it's an 8-hour day, you can lose 808 kilocalories.
Dinner
For food, it takes us not an hour of time, but 20 minutes, and we lose 16 kilocalories. When you do not need to run anywhere during the break, if the cafe is 5 minutes walk from work, then at the table in the cafe you can sit the whole lunch break, chatting with colleagues or with friends, and lose 70 kilocalories.
After work, we undress, prepare a simple dinner, have dinner, take a shower. It consumes 90 kilocalories.
Also in our daily routine includes refilling the bed, washing dishes, telephone conversation with relatives or a friend, reading a book, and all this we spend 50 kilocalories. About 100 kilocalories goes to sleep, if it is at least 7 hours healthy, strong. Total we get 1309 kilocalories.
But we add a 30-minute morning charge to daily activities, 150 kilocalories, a shopping trip for lunch, which took half an hour of lunch, is another 100 kilocalories. Purely symbolic evening 30-minute cleaning in the apartment, there vacuum, here we will dust, 80 kilocalories are gone, ironing for an hour, takes 70 kilocalories. If a week will be engaged in hour aerobics, then all we will spend 1600 kilocalories.
Calories and loneliness
All the calculations that are written above are written for each of us, and even if you are a workaholic, and there is no child or husband near you, you just live for yourself and do not have a family. This is not always the case, and this is reflected in our condition and figure.
For example, a passionate long kiss will save 50 kilocalories, and sex will save 200 kilocalories. It turns out that a night of love or a few kisses a day and we will cover with a daily rate of 1800 or 2000 calories. If there is no favorite, it's okay. 200 or 400 kilocalories can be spent if you dance in the club for 1 or 1.5 hours with friends, and at the same time you can find your favorite.
A 30-minute walk with a dog will allow you to eat a piece of chocolate in 100 kilocalories, or cancel the morning exercises or evening cleaning.
Calorie consumption and child
The life of a woman radically changes the appearance of a child. For a nursing mother, you need 500 kilocalories more than it was before, but the worries that have fallen on her shoulders will cover this surplus.
The very feeding of a child will require 141 kilocalories per hour, and at the beginning of life some kids eat for days.
If you walk with a child in a stroller, you will get rid of 151 kilocalories, and if you wear it in your arms for an hour, you will lose 188 kilocalories. Later, when you play with the grown up child, then every half hour you will lose 150 kilocalories. And by the way he grows up, you will move on to more active games, you will have to run and jump on a par with the child, and every 30 minutes you will say goodbye to 200 kilocalories.
But by that time, breastfeeding can stop, which means that we need fewer calories for food. And all this must be taken into account, so that later we should not be surprised, why we do not lose weight if we conduct an active lifestyle. Most likely, you need to reduce the caloric content of the daily menu. Do not forget that when we care for the baby, we do not spend on the road, getting to work and back, 909 kilocalories. There will be less opportunities for sport and shopping. Phone calls, walks and so on will be reduced.
But there will be added time for bathing the baby, dressing, cooking, ironing, more often it will be necessary to clean the apartment. This is what we will "justify" the calories not spent on work.
You can lose weight
If loneliness is a forced prospect for the near future or a conscious choice, then the under-consumption of calories will be at the weekend. On Saturday morning we begin to clean up the house, and then an hour of such work will save us from 203 kcal. It should not be easy, but thorough cleaning, which you can do in the evening. This includes polishing mirrors and glasses, washing the floor and windows, cleaning the plumbing, it is necessary that this way, "melt" the extra pounds.
After lunch we go to buy food in the store for a week. An hour of this occupation takes 150 kilocalories from us.
On Sunday we walk on foot, the hour of such a walk will save us from 200 or 250 kilocalories, or if you ride a bicycle at a speed of 14 kilometers per hour, this will save us from 300 kilocalories per hour.
If you have a garden, a garden, a summer residence, then we will transfer the Sunday plans to the beds. Depending on the pace of work, and what kind of work we do in the country, country tasks consume every hour from 100 to 300 kilocalories.
Diet, Count Calories
When it became clear what we are spending and how many calories, it is not difficult to calculate whether the traditional formula for weight loss is observed, when consumption is more consumption. When you want to say the phrase that "I do not eat, I spin like a squirrel in a wheel, and I get fat," then I want to translate these matters into calories. Perhaps a person simply over-eating, or exaggerating their worries, then in the first case he needs to reduce the caloric content of his diet, or simply move more. And then the process of losing weight begins.
What are the daily energy costs of each person? Most of the calories we spend on traffic - shopping, studying, work, hobbies and household chores. Thanks to this material, we will be able to calculate what we will do for a working day. But there are processes for which we spend a lot of energy, and do not know about it.
One such process, this basic metabolism, is the so-called metabolism in the body at rest. This energy is spent to provide the functions of important organs - kidneys, lungs, heart, brain and others. Using special measurements and tables, nutritionists calculate the basal metabolic rate. For a home calculation of energy costs, you need to know that a person spends 1 kilocalorie per kilogram of weight per hour. A young woman weighing 60 kilograms needs to support the body's life in a state of rest 1440 kilocalories.
The second important process is digestion and assimilation of food. From the fact that you eat carbohydrates, fats, proteins, this process consumes a different amount of energy. At the use of proteins 40% is spent for utilization. And the body spends only 5 or 7% on digestion and digestion of fats and carbohydrates. Therefore, those who want to lose weight, it is much more profitable to eat protein foods.
In order to be more pleasant and easier to count the calories you spend, you can use the table.
