I've been keeping a food log with my calories in it, but I'm still not entirely too sure about what my calorie intake needs to be. I know it's a bit of a trial by error process, but I'm not even sure where to begin.
In your F&Q (which was extremely helpful, by the way), it says that 1800 calories is a good starting point. Is this true for some one who is also exercising 30 min. to an hour a day?
I lost 3 pounds last week at around 2,000 calories, but I think it may have been due more to my 64 ounces of water a day. Does this sound appropriate, though?
Any help would be great.
ETA: My weight is 229 at the moment.
