Trying to lose 60 lbs

Hi there.......

I am Laura and I just began on MFP. I am working on losing 60 lbs and am wondering what is a decent amount of calories to eat a day . MFP set it at 1200 for me but I am wondering if that is too low.

Anyone have any thoughts??

  • It all depends on how much you weight to how much you want to lose. My personal trainer did some kind of a calculation that came up with my magic number. It if helps, here are my stats. I weight 216lb and want to at 140lb. She put me at 1,500 calories. Keep at it!
