How many calories should I consume?

[Guest guest]

Hello!!

I am brand new to the site. I am on my second day and am feeling

absolutely stuffed at every meal. I feel like I am over eating but I

counted my calorie intake yesterday and it was exactly 1500 calories

and today is 1470 calories. I have been working out for 6 days a week

for 4 years and have juggled with my weight every year. I am trying

the Body for Life program to get my body to where it should be based

on the fact that I am in good shape but don't look it. I weigh 160

lbs and am 5'-7 " tall. I am looking to get down to 130 lbs. Any

recommendations on the amount of calories I should be taking in would

be great. I have feeling I am eating too many. I am also doing the

work outs just like the Body for Life book states, has anyone found an

issue with only doing 20 min of cardio 3 times a week? I am used to

doing 60 min 6 days a week, this is a drastic change for me.

One more question, are we not suppose to eat aft 6 pm? Or can I still

eat one of my meals at 9 pm? Craming 6 meals between 8 am and 6 pm

has been super hard.

Thanks!
