I am 5'4, appox 126lbs. I work out 5 days a week- both cardio and resistance. I am looking to lose appox 10lbs of body fat. I am aiming at 1800 calories a day. I feel hungry, which is part of "dieting", but I don't want to cut back to much that I go into a deficiet and my body goes into starvation mode and I lose energy , ect. Does anyone have a guide or recommendations to caloric intake?

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)
