Keep in mind
- Do not treat food as a punishment or something to "earn". These numbers are just to help you see where calories sit.
- For weight loss, what and how much you eat matters more than exercise. A burger takes 2 minutes to eat and about an hour to walk off.
- These are estimates. Age, pace and body type can shift them by 15–20%.
- You should be generally healthy to start. If you feel chest pain, breathlessness or other problems, see a doctor.
