calories?
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!! |

Thanks!! 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!! 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. Mary |

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 |

Mary 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. |

Thanks!! A good formula for a woman is 8-10 cal/lb. Start with 10 and work your way down if needed. -- the volleyballchick |
