No. You calculate with your goal weight in mind. If you are sedentary, your calories are roughly your goal weight times 10. So if you want to be 150 lbs, your calories would be 1500. You might check out Scooby's Workshop via Google. He has good calculators and meal plans on his site. Bodybuilding.com also has meal plans and workout plans. I like Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer. I found modified versions of the exercises that she recommends on Google. Some people have also found body weight equivalents. If you don't feel up to that, Leslie Sansone's Walk At Home videos are good. About dot exercise dot com has seated strength training exercises for obese people. I'm currently doing the Leslie Sansone videos. I like FatGirl PHD as well. She went from not being able to walk at 290, to losing over 100 pounds, and running 5K's now. She also has her own meal plan and workout plan. These are all free. I mention these different types because everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for another. Oh, and last thing, there are diet/exercise forums on here, if you have any questions about specific diets/exercises that you'd like to try, you might want to ask them. Personally, I'm going with mostly clean eating. Lots of fruits, veggies, and lean meats. I allow myself everything in moderation. If I have a sweet, crisps, or soda, I limit them to once or twice a week. Good luck on your weight loss efforts.
