230 lbs 5'2" Calories per day recommended?

  • Not quite sure where to start with my weight loss. Any recommendations from what has worked for you? Thank you!!
  • HI,
    I would like to know how to figure appropriate calories for any weight. Is there a formula?

    Thanks,
    Sheridan
  • There are so many calculators available which u can use to figure out your daily calorie intake, when u put in ur height , weight etc. I use the one on my fitness pal and have got good results with it.
  • I use My Fitness Pal also and it will calculate for you
  • I started at around 215 pounds and just decided to take one small step and removed all soda from my diet. I dropped about 10 in a month! (And I didn't change any of my other habits)

    But now I am doing about 1600-1700 calories a day clean diet, sometimes I eat more if I plan on doing a strenuous exercise (sometimes I take really long, difficult hikes on weekends) but on average that's what I eat. I am at 175 right now, I have hit of a plateau right now though.
  • I agree with others-I would check out the MyFitnessPal app.
