Being at a healthy weight for your body is one of the best ways to ensure that you give yourself the best chance of living a long and healthy life. However, many people experience a lot of fluctuation in their weight. So once you get to a weight that you’re happy and comfortable with, it’s important to know how to maintain that weight so that you can do all the things that you want your body to be capable of.

To help you see how this can be done, here are three tips for maintaining a healthy weight at any age. 

Eat About The Same Number Of Calories Each Day

While counting calories isn’t a vital part of being healthy, eating about the same number of calories each day is a good way to help ensure that you’re getting adequate nutrition without going overboard.

Especially for people who might struggle with eating sufficiently, as happens to older people living in assisted living facilities, getting enough to eat during the day will help you keep your weight up. And for those who might be struggling to keep some weight off, eating a consistent amount of food can help you avoid binging and other harmful eating habits. If you’re not sure how much you should be eating in a day to stay at a healthy weight, consider speaking with your doctor or a nutritionist to help you figure this out. 

Set Weekly Goals For Exercise

Keeping your body active is another great way to ensure that you’re able to maintain a healthy weight. 

Luckily, you don’t necessarily have to exercise every day in order to maintain your weight and be healthy. Especially if the idea of fitting in exercise every day causes you stress, it can be best for you to set weekly exercise goals rather than daily goals. Ideally, you should try to get about 150 minutes of exercise each week. However you want to break that out into the week is up to you. But if you’re able to do this, you should have an easier time maintaining your weight. 

Find Ways To Cut Back On Sedentary Activities

Along with actively looking to get regular exercise, another thing you can do to maintain a healthy weight is to reduce the amount of time that you spend doing sedentary activities. While you might not be able to get away from working at your desk or sitting down for your job, when you do have more control over your time, try to choose activities that will require you to get your body moving a little bit more. 

If you’re needing some help finding ways to maintain your weight, consider making some of the lifestyle changes mentioned above to achieve this.
