Personal energy requirement = basic energy requirements + extra energy requirements

Basic energy requirements (BER)

* For every Kg of body weight 1.3 kcal is required every hour. (An athlete weighing 50Kg would require 1.3 ? 24hrs ? 50Kg = 1560 kcal/day)
* For a more accurate calculation, see the calculator on the Resting Daily Energy Expenditure (RDEE) page.

Extra energy requirements (EER)

* For each hours training you require an additional 8.5 kcal for each Kg of body weight. (For a two hour training session our 50Kg athlete would require 8.5 ? 2hrs ? 50Kg = 850 kcal)

An athlete weighing 50Kg who trains for two hours would require an intake of approx. 2410 kcal (BER + EER = 1560 + 850)

Thought it was interesting so passed it on

Very interesting that things such as this can be calculated to such precision. Although I will most likely never use the equations you just gave us, I think it's good to know they exist just in case.

Good find, very interesting.

except that the actual amount expended per hour is a little bit flux due to how in shape you are and how much muscle mass you do have ... the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest ...

Yeah! I heard it some where else that once your body is toned and muscular. It tends to burn fat even during sleep, how true is this fact?

it is true ...
