If you're not losing weight on what you're eating then start to drop
calories. Try eating say 200c a day less and see what happens.


Thanks.

Is that as technical as it gets?


LOL!!! What else can you try? You can exercise more. ;o)

no, i mean i want to know if there is a science to it. with my heght,
weight, level of activity, amount of excercise and age is there an amount of
calories I should be eating. I'm sure athletes have a way to really know
what they are doing with food.

i would like to think of eating as fueling the machine that is me. we all
know the ration of oil to gas to put in our lawn mower but our own nutrition
is a mystery. I am a bit of a Vulcan in my logic but I would like to get
specific here and feel like I really know what I am putting in.

your method seems rather random. we already know "eat less, excercise more"
works
