I am a 33 year old male, 5' 10" and I currently weight 157. I ususally have been getting about 600 - 1200 calories a day by eating mostly fruits and vegetables. I am a vegetarian and do not eat meat, but I will eat dairy. I do not consume sugar (where I can avoid it of course). Ultimately I would like to get to 150 (maybe 145, but even I think that's a little low, but I would like a little "wiggle" room).
I have been doing pretty good, the lowest I got down to was 152, but I can't seem to maintain it. It seems that I have been holding on to and gaining about a pound a day and I have not been cheating.
I get tons of exercise. I have water aerobics twice a week, when I am not doing that I usually jog when I can, or I walk. When I walk though, I average about 10 miles per day.
Given this information,
How many calories should I be eating a day?
What about the amounts of lean protein, fat, salt, sugar and fibre?
Thanks
