Weight loss for women over 50 is different from weight loss in younger women and men.<\/p>\r\n
Women in their 50s may experience hormone fluctuations and often have lower metabolisms than their younger peers.<\/p>\r\n
They might also have less lean body mass needed to burn extra calories during weight loss.<\/p>\r\n
That can change with the right exercise program though!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Weight maintenance calorie needs<\/a> for moderately active women based on age are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- 2,200 calories for women ages 19-25<\/li>\r\n
- 2,000 calories for women ages 26-50<\/li>\r\n
- 1,800 calories for women over 50<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Weight loss calorie requirements for women over 50 are usually about 1,200 calories<\/a> daily.<\/p>\r\nIf you feel hungry when eating 1,200 calories per day or you\u2019re very active, try consuming 1,500 calories daily instead during weight loss.<\/p>\r\n

When weight loss over 50 is your goal, knowing how to plan nutritious menus is the key to success.<\/p>\r\n
Use the simple diet tips below to plan weight loss meals:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Eat Small Meals Throughout the Day<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Rather than eating just one to two (or even three) large meals aim for smaller, more frequent meals or snacks every few hours or so.<\/p>\r\n
When eating 1,200 calories daily for weight loss over 50, choose from the following meal\/snack schedules:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Four 300-calorie meals<\/li>\r\n
- Five 240-calorie meals<\/li>\r\n
- Three 300-calorie meals plus two 150-calorie snacks<\/li>\r\n
- Six 200-calorie meals<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If your weight loss energy needs are 1,500 calories, choose from the following options:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Four 375-calorie meals<\/li>\r\n
- Five 300-calorie meals<\/li>\r\n
- Three 350-calorie meals plus two 225-calorie snacks<\/li>\r\n
- Six 250-calorie meals<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For best results, choose a meal plan and eating schedule that best matches your daily routine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Know How Many Calories You’re Eating<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When you first begin a weight loss plan over 50, it\u2019s helpful to record calories so you know if you\u2019re on the right track. You might be eating more calories than you think!<\/p>\r\n
Use a free online food composition database<\/a> or calorie-tracking app, such as MyFitnessPal<\/a>, Fatsecret<\/a>, or Lose It!<\/a>.<\/p>\r\nTo give you an idea of the calorie content in some of your favorite healthy foods, use the following list:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- 3 ounces of lean poultry, fish, seafood, tofu, or seitan: 70-135 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 2 eggs: 145 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1 cup of non-starchy vegetables (leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.): 10-45 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1\/2 cup of starchy vegetables (black beans, corn, peas, potatoes, etc.): 65-120 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1 cup of fruit: 45-135 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1 cup of dairy foods or plant milk: 80-160 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1\/2 cup of cooked whole grains: 75-110 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1\/3 ounce of nuts or seeds: 50 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1\/2 tablespoon of peanut butter: 45 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1 teaspoon of oils: 40 calories<\/li>\r\n
- 1\/6th of an avocado: 40 calories<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This list gives you a good estimate of the energy content associated with nutritious foods when you don\u2019t have time to count calories!<\/p>\r\n\t\t
