youre BMI is 24!.8 which is still within normal range!. just really borderline of becoming overweight, as you said!.
you should eat around 1800 to 2200 calories daily!.

if thats you in your picture then you really dont look 140!. you actually look skinny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone is different, and so everyone needs different amounts of fats, carbs, calories, etc!. The average is about 2000 calories a day!. Some changes might need to be made to that number because people are different heights, weights, metabolism levels, etc!. It also depends on how active you are!. If you are in sports, you need to take in more calories because you are burning more off!.

Good luck, and I hope I helped! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
