How many calories should I be consuming?I am 153 lbs 5,3" .. My fitness pal gave me 1200 per day but that seems quite low. I am trying to shed off 35 lbs by summer.

    Maybe the goal is too aggressive. Try calculating with 1lb and 1/2lb per week goals and see what it gives you.

    I am 4"11 and weigh 108lbs and 1200 per day would be too low for me. I lose just fine on 1500 cals per day.
