So, before looking for a ready-made free menu on the Internet, you need to determine the body’s average daily calorie requirement. You can do this at home using an online calculator where you need to enter your height and weight parameters. When calculating calories, you need to take into account the degree of physical activity of a person.
In weight loss clinics, the approach is better. The calculation of the daily calorie intake is carried out on special equipment that analyzes the ratio of fat and muscle mass. Doctors will never give all clients the same menu, for example, 1200 kilocalories. It will be individual, taking into account the characteristics of the organism.
