calorie intake question.
 
Can someone help me figure out my daily intake? Or at least tell me what it is? I know ww points per day, but I've found an app for my phone that confuses me a little.
I weigh 192, and I'm 5' 6". What else is anything is used to figure this out. And bmi....according the the app I'm obese, and that is a wake up call!

I found how many calories I should be eating by setting up an account on livestrong.com using the daily plate (this is all free). I think there are other places you can do this but I like TDP. It is very easy you just put in all your info age,weight, sex, and activity level.

I was obese and that is how it is going to stay WAS. You have already started taking the steps to change that so bravo! You should be proud that you are going to take care of you, so right now you are obese along with another 1/3 of the country. You are not alone, and I have a feeling that "obese" status is going to change soon. Don't worry about it this is just your starting point and you are here for a change :)
