Answers:
If you get little exercise and have a desk job:
Maintenance:
1489 Calories/day
Fat Loss:
1200 Calories/day
If you exercise three times a week:
Maintenance:
1706 Calories/day
Fat Loss:
1365 Calories/day
Your Body Mass Index is approx!. 21
BMI Key
< 18!.5 underweight
18!.5 to 24!.9 healthy
25 to 29!.9 overweight
30 to 34!.9 grade 1 obesity
35 to 39!.9 grade 2 obesity
>40 grade 3 (morbid obessity
So you can see you are in a healthy range!.
The most you should lose is 14 pounds!. That would put you at a BMI of 18!.5!. at 101lbs!. Anything less is unhealthy!.
Don;t eat less than 1200 per day!. Less may slow down your metabolism and actually slow your fat loss and make you feel tired!.
There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat!. To lose a pound a week you'll need to burn 500 calories a day more than you consume!. That means you;ll need to exercise!. Walk 2 miles in 34 minutes (3!.5 mph) and you'll burn your weight in extra calories (115 at your present weight)!.
The maximum rate you should lose is 2 lbs!. per week!. That would take you 7 weeks to get to 18!.5 BMI!. If you are happy with your tummy before you get to 101 then go to your maintenance caloric intake
