[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it can be a real (sad) eye opener for some of us as we enter our fourties how few calories we need to operate. My body needs about 1500 calories to maintain its 5'10, 177lb self. That is plenty of good healthy food, but not much margin for junk. To stick to that I have to both track my calories (I use Lose It! app) and I weigh my food often, usually things I tend to overeat, like chocolate. To lose weight I've been doing intermittent fasting, which has helped me lose 15 lbs over 15 weeks or so. Twice a week I skip breakfast and lunch, and just eat a 500 calorie dinner with my family. You get used to it.[/quote] My body needs 1500 calories to maintain my weight as well at 5'4, 132lb. However, that is not enough food for me so I exercise to burn an additional 500 - 600 calories a day. I eat about 2,000 calories a day and am rarely hungry. I'm 45 years old and have maintained this weight for 3 years after losing 15 lbs.[/quote]
