How do you calculate intake and output CNA?

CNA is the same as calories. Just add up all your food, and you get your intake. Then subtract that from what you are burning. If you are eating too much (or maybe exercising too little), you have a calorie surplus, which means you are making your body gain weight.

For example, if you ate 500 calories yesterday and burned 50 calories today, you are at risk for gaining weight. To "treat" this condition, you would want to eat less (or increase your physical activity) so you end up burning more than you are eating, and you lose weight. How do I calculate calorie intake and output?

What is a normal fluid intake and output?

As a rough guide, for a 75kg person, the normal range of fluid intake (over a 24-hour period) is between 1.5 and 2 litres of fluid. Fluid output should be around 1-1.2 litres per day. If you are over the "normal" ranges, then you have to go to your GP and ask them to advise you on how much you need to drink. You may also want to weigh yourself before and after you drink water.

As a rough guide, if you weigh 150kg, you may be over the normal fluid intake, but below the normal fluid output. If you can tolerate a little more fluid intake, but less fluid output, you may want to try the following: Drink 6-7 litres of water and then fast for about 4 hours. This should bring your fluid intake up to 2.5-3 litres per day. You may feel light-headed and weak, so drink lots of water!
Drink a glass of water before you sleep at night, and again in the morning. You may feel very light-headed and your temperature may drop, so you may need to get some electrolytes or have an extra-large glass of water before going to bed.

If you are active, you may want to drink about 10-20 litres per day of sports drinks. If you get dehydrated, this will help you recover. You can also do the same exercises without getting dehydrated.

The aim is to drink enough water, but not too much. Don't worry about the amount of salt you take in, as most foods contain salt. Drink plenty of fluids - just try to avoid getting dehydrated.

How should you measure intake and output?

This is by far the trickiest part of my blog posts on building a budget for food, and it can easily overwhelm you.

I'm going to give a high-level overview of what I have found works well for my family (especially me). But I want you to take a deep dive in one place (with my help! The first thing to realize is that the easiest approach to budgeting doesn't always work. I'm assuming you are at least looking to be conscious about each budgeting step. My goal is to give a process that will move you towards more conscious decisions.

But if you have already adopted the habit of buying processed foods with no thought and then feel like I've failed you because your grocery spending has not been reduced dramatically, then know that all you need to do is take a little more time and effort at each stage in the process. A note on budgets for eating out. If you eat out often, then there is also some math involved in this process. For starters, you need to add up any extra fees for service. You are probably saving money as you save money elsewhere in your budget, but we are trying to account for where we spend the most in order to maximize savings elsewhere.

How many times per month? It depends on how often you eat out, if you cook a lot of meals from scratch, how much food you get for yourself to cook at home, and how much money you need to save elsewhere in the budget. For my family, we average 1-2 times per week at restaurants (the average), mostly for lunch or dinner. Most dinners are pre-prepared at home. My husband, however, eats out a lot more.

It will definitely be different for you. The important point is to figure out how much each time counts for the family's financial goals, which includes savings (as well as how much you enjoy spending as you enjoy spending elsewhere). Figure that out, and see where you can cut costs without hurting your savings.
