Here is a formula that I was given that gives you a reference to your daily needs for calories if you want to lose 1 lb per week. your Weight x 12 = Calories (men put 14 in place of the 12) Calories - 500 = Your daily intake (this is your total calories taking in account your exercise to lose 1 lb a week)
