how much calories should i have every day if im trying to loose weight?

Answer 1

less than your intake.

Answer 2

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 3

there is a new diet out on the market that everyone is trying and it actually works because i have tried it myself.. for short it is called lose 10 pounds in 3 days. but i think it is called the alantic hospital diet(heart diease diet0.. this diet is suppose to help people who are over weight with heart problems to lose dramatic amounts of weight in a healthy way before they have heart surgery. The diet is designed as a chemical break down and if you follow the strict diet for the 3 days you will result in maximum of 10 pounds loss.. look it up.. good luck

Answer 4

At least 1500 a day and that should be made up from vegetables, fruit, carbs such as pasta, rice and starchy foods and protein. Loose the sugar and fat as these are 'empty' calories. And increase your workout, you will soon loose weight healthily.

Answer 5

Depends on a lot of other factors but you can certainly lose weight taking in 1000 'good' calories per day.

Answer 6

It depends on how overweight you are. If not much, you can drop to about 1,200. If you're very overweight, I need to lose about 80 pounds, then you could go to 1,500 - it's a slow process and you can't starve yourself because your body will resist. The more overweight you are, then the higher the intake because it's still less than you're probably used to which will get your body going. Once you start losing, you can start dropping the intake - slowly. You need to check what's recommended. I think it also depends on whether you're male or female. Check webmd.com.

Answer 7

Um, you're with regards to the appropriate weight....it could be noted as meat on the bones, yet some adult adult males like that. i'm a junior in highschool, i'm 5' 6'' and that i'm approximately one hundred seventy lbs. information: Juice is sturdy for you. yet do not substitute with water. particular, do away with your soda, and play some wii tennis and if soccer is roofed too, it is going to help in case you play an hour an afternoon or so and make certain you run around and stuff. yet i might make your objective a stable one hundred thirty lbs.
