I think this calculator is useful. It shows you how many calories you need to maintain, or fat loss, and or extreme fat loss. and it explains which one is right for you.

Calculator: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm


(and if you look the right menu, there are some other calculators there as well for: Ideal Weight .... bmi .... Nutrient Ratios... etc)


I hope this is useful to some of you

Thank you! That may go towards explaining why my weightloss is so prone to stalling...actually not eating ENOUGH!

According to that I need 2300 to maintain and 1850 to lose...noice

Awesome site, thanks for posting it. I love the free calorie based meal plans at the bottom as well. They have simple meals so I know I can actually use it. Thanks again so much, this will be extremely helpful to me and to a lot of others I'm sure.

You're welcome I'm glad it helps everyone out. I thank the site for it. hehe. I personally like how it can also build the "zigzag" cycle.
