Ht. 5'7", Wt. 297 - Okay so, I just wanted to hear everyones thoughts on this - I'm trying to lose weight and today I ate about 1550 calories. This is more than I would like to, but it's less than I normally eat. I usually eat more like 2500-3000. I know this seems like a lot but trust me, it adds up, especially considering that at my school, the average school lunch is 750 cals alone and with the Snapple I usually drink with it, that's 1000 calories just for lunch. So seriously, 2500 is not an overestimate. Considering how much I normally eat, is 1550 okay to start off with? Keep in mind - I will be doing the same amount of physical activity [or lack there of.] Thanks guys! :]

Yeah, actually 1,550 calories is a good ammount for dieting. Try to increase your excercise along with that and you will definately lose weight! Good luck. =)
