Weight Loss How much should I really eat? Nov 13 2008

Hi,

I don't think you need to eat any extra because you're excercising, just think of the excercise as a bonus to help your weight loss along.

Depending on what rate you want to lose at i'd go for a "kick-start" fortnight of between 1300 and 1400 a day (this worked well for me). Then even it out at between 1500 and 1600. The weight should come off then at about 1-2 lbs a week. If its going any quicker add 100cals a day until it evens out to 1-2lbs a week.

The point where you may need to add a few calories because of your excercise is when you reach the weight you want to be and want to maintain rather than lose any more!

Hope this helps!
