Hired a personal trainer yesterday
She told me to take my body weight, multiply it by 11 then subtract 1000 calories from that to get the amount of calories I am to eat each day. (BW x 11) - 1000 = cals to eat per day. That will give me a 7000 calorie deficit at the end of 7 days and that will equal a 2 pound loss each week. (3500 calories = pound lost).…
