Here's why you should probably always err on the plus side when you estimate how much energy (calories) you consume if you are trying to lose weight.
Life Doesn't Happen in A Laboratory.
It is possible to be precise in measuring your energy input and output, but who would want to spend their lives measuring and weighing every bite and tabulating every moment of exercise? Your life is not a scientific experiment in a laboratory. It's your life, and you need to live it. By making a conscientious, initial investment in some basic knowledge of energy input and output, we believe that you can put together an energy management program that you can sustain for the rest of your life--a healthier life.
Although this web site's energy estimates are based on reliable sources and carefully calculated formulas, you can really only guesstimate your specific energy intake and output. When guesstimating, be conservative, for example, assume a large serving size. It's easy to fudge the numbers in your favor when you would rather eat than exercise.
And, evaluate your progress and tweak your energy management program to determine if it's working.
