Our weight is a balance between calories consumed and calories burned.
More calories are consumed without the burn, the more one earns pounds.
To lose weight, simply create a deficit of calories to burn more than you consume. To do this you must calculate the inputs (number of calories you eat in a day) and calories out (calories you burn in a day).

HOW TO BURN THE CALORIES?
Each day, our bodies burn calories. We burn the calories in various ways:
1) The maintenance metabolism (basic needs).
Even at rest, we burn calories to perform the vital functions of our body. This represents our largest daily energy expenditure. About 70%
2) The transformation of food
Digest, absorb, transport and store food also requires calories. Approximately 10% of the energy we spend.
3) Physical activity
In fact, sport can expend energy and thus burning calories. To lose weight, sport is a great way and it is the variable that we have the most control.
These costs are different depending on the individual, age, weight and size. However, energy expenditure caused by physical activity are the best way to burn calories and lose weight.
