how many calories to eat in a day to lose weight?
<answer> Consume 500 to 1000 calories per day. <context> So an initial approach to estimating how many calories should i eat a day is to calculate the calories you burn a day with this BMR calculator and then either consume that many calories to maintain your weight or consume 500 to 1000 calories less than this estimate a day to lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week.
