How many calories should I aim for?

Hi everyone. I just wanna make sure i'm doing this right.

I'm 6'4 and around 266lbs atm. I'm not sure what I should set my calories intake to? The app told me it should be 1850 and that seems high. At the moment i've been averaging around 1600 but I still feel that's too high.

I'm cycling to and from work 4 days a week (half hour each way) and I'm going to the gym in the evenings but I know if I don't have my diet sorted this will all be for nothing so if anyone has any pearls of wisdom please share.

Also feel free to add me as a friend it's nice to see others results.

P.s. I'm from england but don't let that put you off adding me :tongue:

    At 266lbs that's pretty close to what you need.

    As you lose weight what you need will go down.
