Hi - i am totally lost when it comes to calories. Should i just google it
and see what the "average woman" should intake or is there a formula for
how
many calories a day to eat?

I am using Fitday to track what i eat but then i see all these numbers and
it means nothing to me!! What should the Fat/Protien/Carbs ratio be? I
need
to lose weight, not maintain where I am.

Thanks!!


One of the good parts about Weignt Watchers, in my opinion, is that
you don't have to track calories. Watching points (if on points) and
meeeting the basic nutritional guidelines should be sufficient for
weight loss.

i thought maybe someone here would know. i will try the library and google.
yes, WW is nice because they lay out for us "eat less, excercise more" and
don't eat junk. I just want to know more.

i am not counting calories but because i am tracking my intake in fitday i
realize how very little i know.
