Answers:
you do a regular amount of excercise so should eat about 2000 calories a day!. Men sould consume about 2500 a day!. These figures assume that you do about 45min excercise a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
http://epic-nom!.com/daily-needs (entering moderate exercise only 3-5 days/wk) reports you should eat about 2400 a day to maintain your weight, so you're eating far too little!.
You should increase your daily intake slowly up to 2000 or so if you want to lose weight, perhaps 50 cals extra per day for 10 days until you reach 2000!. That should prevent your body reacting unfavourably to a sudden increase in calories!.

It's good that you're drinking lots of water too, but there's no reason to starve yourself since you exercise so hard ;-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
