    What is a healthy number for a 22 year old in order to lose weight? Are there any sites to calculate calories to eat a day to lose weight? I go back and forth, at first I was eating way too little and felt like I was starving all day, and today I hate almost 2000 calories and I know that can't be good, but I really don't know. Help?

    I entered my info in mydailyplate.com and have been working from there. To lose 2 lbs a week, I'm supposed to eat around 1600 a day. (I'm 22, 5'7", 190 pounds and fairly inactive)

    I'm 22 and I do 1750. It's pretty easy, and I usually wind up under.
