Trying to diet?!
Question:
Trying to diet?
I am wondering how many calories a day I need to lose weight. I am 5'9 232 currently and would like to weigh 175. So what would be a good daily number of calorie intake for myself.
Answers:
Go to www.weightwatchers.com. They'll help you calculate. It might also help to go to the meetings: you learn a lot there. Basically, though, figure about 15 calories per pound of weight. I'd suggest cutting about 500 calories a day, and add some walking. Start with 20 minutes and build up to an hour a day, five days a week. Maybe lifting some weights would help, too, as it would firm your muscles and help you look good.
