Human energy consumption

Striving for harmony of beauty and health, we often have to think about the harmony between what we consume and what we spend. While economists and politicians think about balancing at their levels, it is important for each person that the amount of energy entering his body (along with food, sunlight, oxygen in the air, etc.) and the amount of energy consumed by him are in the ratio that daily calmly and without tension contributes to his beauty and health.

What do we spend energy on, and in what quantities?
Human energy expenditure consists of basic metabolism, energy spent at work and at home, and energy needed to convert food into cells, tissues and energy inside the human body.

1.   Basic exchange

Men – 1 cal per gram of weight for an hour

Women – 0.9 cal per gram of weight for an hour

Your main metabolism during the day = (your weight)*1*24 (if you are a man) and (your weight)*0.9*24 (if you are a woman)

The main idea of weight loss techniques like fractional nutrition is to focus not on the true weight, but on the weight that you want to have. You can calculate the authentic and desired option.

2. Socially useful work, to which we give 8 hours almost daily, every day, depending on physical costs, requires approximately:

You can estimate energy costs more accurately.

If you work (see table below), a certain number of hours, then your energy consumption for labor activity = (your weight) * (time in hours given to work) * (energy consumption coefficient for this type of activity, kcal / hour * kg):

3 . Then we come home and continue to use energy, but the time is already counted for minutes:
energy consumption = (your weight) * (time spent in minutes) * (energy consumption coefficient for this type of activity, kcal / min * kg):

or do sports, fitness, dancing:
energy consumption = (your weight) * (time spent in minutes) * (energy consumption coefficient for this type of activity, kcal / min * kg):

4. And, finally, do not forget that digestion, absorption and other processes of processing food entering our body are also energy-consuming. Moreover, when eating proteins, we spend 15 times more energy than eating fats and carbohydrates. The average value of 6.5% of the value of the basic metabolism is characteristic of rational nutrition, in which the ratios of proteins, fats and carbohydrates are proportional to the following:
100 g of proteins or 410 kcal;
60 g of animal fat or 560 kcal;
370 g carbohydrates or 1530 kcal.
