From: nanner on 31 Aug 2006 10:25 Hi - i am totally lost when it comes to calories. Should i just google it and see what the "average woman" should intake or is there a formula for how many calories a day to eat? I am using Fitday to track what i eat but then i see all these numbers and it means nothing to me!! What should the Fat/Protien/Carbs ratio be? I need to lose weight, not maintain where I am. Thanks!!

Try eating say 200c a day less and see what happens. LW Re-Start - 7/5/06 - 170lbs Today - 155 lbs Goal - 130 lbs Height: 5'6" Female.

Watching points (if on points) and meeeting the basic nutritional guidelines should be sufficient for weight loss. Mary |
