Before you formulate your personal fat loss plan, you must know how to calculate your daily total calorie expenditure (DCE), the total amount of calories you burn up everyday. DCE is the number of calories your body burns in 24 hours for all activities even while during sleep. Exercise physiologists report that the daily average maintenance level for men and women in the United States is 2700-2900 and 2000-2100 calories, respectively; however, there may be variations dependent on individual activity levels and genetic factors.
