beautifulmenow

I'm so confused about calories are you suppose to eat how much to maintain your weight or cut the calories to loose weight cause mines calculating from here is over 2000 a day I clearly don't eat enough and don't want to eat as it is after I had my baby I have no appetite expect going along time like almost all day before getting the him get sensation or after exercising so I'm basically forcing myself to eat what to do can anyone help

Are you trying to cut? I'm sorry, not sure what you are asking?

Your post doesn't make a lot of sense, but I think you're asking how to figure out how much you should be eating,
and you think you don't eat enough, and you don't feel like eating for most of the day?


Have a look at this calculator from the Baylor College of Medicine.
It will tell you not only your BMI, but how many servings of various foods to eat to maintain that weight.
If you enter your healthy goal weight, or play with the numbers to get the BMI in the healthy range, this will help
you plan your food intake.
