Calorie Intake Chart
This
free calorie intake chart is more than just a weight loss
tool for
tracking your calorie intake for weight loss.
The Microsoft
excel version
allows you to track your calorie intake but is also a weight loss
tracker and an exercise tracker.
This is three weight loss
tools combined into
one.
You can download and save to your computer and print off all
or
any of the pages you want or just update electronically on your
computer.
These
files are a great way to track your calories to ensure you are creating
a calorie deficit for weight loss.

How to Use It
This section explains how to use the calorie intake chart.
Excel
Version
The Excel version of this calorie intake chart file has up to four
weeks for
tracking. After the four weeks, simply save the
file. Then clear the data and start tracking the next four
weeks.
The Excel version also has daily charts which track your daily
calorie intake, daily calories burned and your calorie
deficit. Charts are a great visual for you to see your
progress. There is also a chart showing your weight loss
progress.
The reason the Excel chart has only four weeks
for tracking is that it uses your
basal
metabolic rate in the calories
burned calculation. As you lose weight and build muscle, your
BMR will change; therefore you want to update the file with your
current BMR.
I suggest you update your BMR at least every
four weeks, which is why this file is designed for only 4 weeks.
If you
don’t have Microsoft Excel but would like compatible software to
Microsoft tools, then be sure to visit the
weight loss
tools page for a link to Open Office.
This software
is totally free. I have verified that this file will open up
with this software.
PDF
Version
The PDF version of this chart allows you to save to your
computer and then print it off for recording your calories.
It is a simple version and allows for tracking calories only.
If you also want to track your exercise calories with a PDF version,
then be sure to check out the
exercise
calorie counter available on this
site.
