Ht. 5'8, Wt. 160 - If you wanted to find out how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight, do you think adding a 0 to the end would make sense? Im not sure cuz say if you are 120 pounds, then you would need 1200 calories to maintain?? that sounds kinda low lol and if you were 110 pounds and like 5'2 you would need 1100? thats so low so im so confused

hmm well you can just assume like, 1200-1500 calories per day to lose weight. if you go to caloriesperhour.com, they can give you an estimate of tyour metabolism (like how many calories you burn a day without excercise) and you can base it on that
