Calories?

swanke17

Those of you ladies who lift weights...about how many calories do you eat in a day? I know it varies for everyone depending upon the training you are doing and your body. But ball park? I am going to follow the workout here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/womans_lean_sexy_bible.htm.

And according to this site, my nutrition should be about as follows:

Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 131.5 lbs

Calories: 1578-1841
Protein: 138-161 grams
Carbs: 177-207 grams
Fat: 35-41 grams

What does everyone think? Does this seem reasonable? I am looking to gain muscle/lose fat.

I was thinking about trying to hit about 1650 calories a day. And that would be with lifting/steady state cardio 4x a week and HIIT cardio 2x a week.

Any advice would be great! I'm having a hard time figuring out the food part!

Thanks!
