How many calories should I be taking in?

Stats:

Age: 21 (22 at the end of December.)

Height: 5'3

Exercise: Dvds 1 hour, 4 days a week

Weight: 131.5

I've been eating 1,500 is that too much? I gained a pound today (132.5) so I was wondering if that was just a regular fluctuation or if I am indeed eating too much.

Thanks! :)

With your stats you should be able to maintain your weight on about 1900-2000 cals a day and therefore 1500 would represent a weight-loss intake.  1lb can be anything.... only take your weight once a week to iron out any fluctuations.  Good luck

Thanks Jane, I know everyone here can count on you to give great and informative answers. You're a dear. :)

That's very kind...
