How much can I eat? I am asked this question often. People want to

know exactly how many calories are just right for them.

The Institute of Medicine has identified in the chart below the

approximate weight you should be according to heights and the number

of calories you should eat to maintain that weight.

5'1 " to 5'4 " , 98-132 pounds:

Women: 1,688-1,834 calories per day if sedentary; 2,104-2,290 if

active

Men: 1,919-2,167 calories per day if sedentary; 2,104-2,290 if active

5'5 " to 5'8 " , up to 150 pounds

Women: 1,816-1,982 calories per day if sedentary; 2,267-2,477 if

active

Men: 2,068-2,349 calories per day if sedentary; 2,490-2,842 if active

5'9 " to 6', 125-169 pounds

Women: 1,948-2,134 calories per day if sedentary; 2,434-2,670 if

active

Men: 2,222-2,538 calories per day if sedentary; 2,683-3,078 if active

6'1 " to 6'4 " , 129-188 pounds

Women: 2,083-2,290 calories per day if sedentary; 2,605-2,869 if

active

Men: 2,382-2,736 calories per day if sedentary; 2,883-3,325 if active

In order to lose weight, subtract 250 calories per day from wherever

you fit in the chart above, and burn 250 calories through a daily

exercise program. That will help you to lose about 1 pound per week.

Thanks Francisco

I received that newsletter. But since Im only 4'10.5 Im sure I need

to knock some off. I know I need at least 1200. Barbara emailed me

privately and told me not only told me to read the newsletter but to

add more calories too. So, I will listen to my friends and go up to

at least 1200-1400.
