How many calories a day?


Quote  |  Reply

How many calories a day am I supposed to eat?  I'm around 4 feet 9. Around 84 pounds....24 years. Been that weight since high school. I'm not sure how many calories a day I should take in.

If you were to maintain your weight, assuming you're reasonably active, you'd need about 1600-1800 cals a day.  So to gain weight to a healthier 92-94lbs you'd need about 2300+ cals a day.

Okay, thanks!
