[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what would be your ideal weight? Approximately. If 140 pounds, eat 1,400 calories/day. 120 pounds, eat 1,200. This is to lose. This is a very, very rough estimate. Don't go below 1,200 calories even if your ideal weight is <120. Again, just a rough estimate. You mostly have to experience what results are taking in different amount of calories --- do you lose. And how do you feel.[/quote] This is a surefire way to wreck your metabolism. Do not listen to this person. As far as I can tell, most online calculators will tell you about the same thing. Use one that has an activity estimator and use it as your guideline. After a few days of using their estimate, how do you feel? Do you feel like you need more food or less? Add or subtract 100 calories a day until it feels right to you. I know I'm not eating enough if I wake up hungry in the middle of the night. I know I'm eating too much if I'm really not hungry at my usual meal or snack time.[/quote]
