Answer 1

Between 1500 and 2000 Now here's the important part. After a week or so if you dind yourself gaining weight so that your clothes are beoming uncomfortable or that you don't think you want to be any heavier, then cut back from the 2000 to 1800, then 1500.

It is generally accepted that you need about 1500 a day to keep fit, any less and you will probably lose weight. And just remembe that the enemies of good health are:

SALT, SUGAR and ANIMAL FATS

so eat these in moderation. Dark green vegetables are absolutelky the best foods in the world, they keep you from Alzheimers, loss of memory and a host of body malfunctions.

Good luck, you sound like a real winner in life !

Answer 2

My dietitian told me to maintain ones weight, a sedentary woman's intake should be 100 calories per day per pound. It is not related to height. At 112 lbs, if you want to lose weight you should eat less than 1100 calories.

However, in truth - 112 lbs and 5'3" sounds pretty near perfect just the way you are. Contrary to popular thinking, one CAN be too thin. Just look at Nichole Ritchie or Mary Kate Olsen.
