Many women want to lose weight before their wedding. Sometimes, the groom also wants to get in shape and drop some pounds before the big day. Cutting calories from your diet is the best way to lose weight. Choose low-calorie foods to replace those high in calories. For example snack on fruit rather than potato chips.
Pack your lunch from home instead of hitting the closest drive-thru. Reduce your portion sizes to further control your intake. Men between the ages of 19 and 30 need 2,500 to 3,000 calories per day, depending on activity level.
After age 30, this number drops by about 100 to 300 calories per day. Fiber is a nutrient that digests slowly, which you keep feeling full longer.
In addition, fiber doesn't have calories so higher intakes don't alter your intake goals. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are the best sources of fiber, but are also low in calories and help contribute to weight loss. Men need to have 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates and 50 to 175 grams of protein each day.
