Calculating Daily Calories Burn We burn calories every day as we move around while doing our daily tasks or when we exercise. The average calories burned per day by a male would be 2,200 to 3000 calories per day while if you ask how many calories a woman burns in a day, it is 1600 to 2200 calories per day. So does it mean that men & women burn calories differently? The answer is yes! Gender does play a role when you calculate your calories. The number of calories needed every day may vary as every one of our bodies is unique and so are our activity levels. Calories are considered to be significant for our bodily functions like blood circulation, breathing, cell processes, etc. Also, you tend to burn additional calories through your regular movements which can again vary from person to person. If you really want to know the number of calories that you burn every day then you can use the Mifflin-St Jeor formula to calculate. This formula actually calculates your resting metabolic rate which is also known as the resting energy expenditure (number of calories needed to function while you are at rest). And one more calculation based on your activity levels will show how many calories you may need every day in order to maintain your current body weight. Eating calories lesser than this will result in weight loss and when the intake of calories exceeds it may lead to weight gain.
