I never figure out my daily caloric intake right so could use some help to help me figure out what it should be for me to consume daily to lose weight. I m a 49 year old female at current weight of 180 pounds. What should my caloric intake daily be ? Thanks in advance.

Plug your stats into MyFitnessPal, and chose your rate of loss. It'll give you the amount of calories to eat to lose according to that rate.0

Its been so long and forgot how to use this app lol so under where do i put my info?0

I think i found it but it says 1,200 but i dont think that is calculated correctly.0

use MFP, it'll tell you if you put your stats in0

Ok did that but 1,200 doesnt sound right for my info seems kind of low for an 180 pound woman with my age given but okay 1,200 it is then.0

What is your rate of loss? How active are you? If you workout you get extra calories. I only eat back 150-200 wotkout calories back. *I think* FP over estimates my workouts...others on my friends list has sad the same and also don't eat back all of their calories.0

I put in your numbers (guessing 5'5" for height, could be up +-100 if you are much shorter/taller) and came up with 1736 for sedentary. To lose 1 pound a week, subtract 500, so 1236.
If you said you wanted to lose 2 pounds, it would need to be 1736-1000=736 but that is below the minimum of 1200 so it cuts you off there (and you won't really lose 2 pounds a week).0 -
Thank u! Im 5'4 but you were close0
