About Calories?!
Question: About Calories!?
I recently figured out my BMI (Body Mass Index) over the net and it gave me a calorie range per day to follow!. Now Most days I am under that range!. Is that a good thing or a bad thing!. Should I add more calories to my diet!? Or will I lose the weight if I am under the amount that they suggested for me!?

You should be over 1300 net calories a day (woman) or 1700 net calories a day (man)!. As long as you are over that guideline, you should lose weight!. When you stop losing weight, you are at your ideal weight!.

Calories are important to follow to lose or maintain weight without gaining but just as important as the calories you eat is where you are getting the calories from!. If you calorie range is 1200 but you are eating 900 in fat and sugar then your not doing yourself any favors and will not lose weight!. If at 1200 range you are eating 1300 but it is good fat, veggies, fruit and fiber then you are ok and will still lose weight just not as quickly!. Also it really depends on if you are exercising!. If you are stay at or a little under your calorie allowance but you are not exercising then you will still lose weight but very slowly!. So in that regard it is best to stay under you calorie allowance!. If you are exercise moderately then staying right at your calorie allowance will help you achieve the best results!. Make sure you keep track of your changing calorie allowance!. As you start to lose weight you will need less calories till you get to your healthy weight and calorie intake!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You will probably loose weight, but you would have to be significantly under the calorie range!. Obviously its not healthy to starve your body, if that's what you were thinking!. Sometimes its best to do what your body tells you!. If you aren't hungry, then don't eat!. If you are, then eat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the calories are just a little bit under then you wont lose alot of weight!. It depends on who much you are not consuming!. But in my opinion you should stick with how much it says to consume :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
