How Many Calories

BevG

Hi All

I'm new to this forum.

Please can anyone tell how I work out how many calories I should have.

Thanks

This is How I eat. See if it helps? I just change up the Meats, Veggies (I only eat corn once in a great while), Pasta ( I only have 1 oz at a meal) Different low cal snacks. If you exercise even just do a little walking, you can add more calories and have a little more. It's really not hard when you put a little work into it.

When you set up with your current weight and target weight with how much you want to lose per week, MFP should calculate your target for you

Good luck xx
