Question about maintaining my weight
I have been reading posts and find this site very helpful but this is my first time posting. I wanted to know what an appropriate calorie intake would be for me.
My stats are: I am 22 years old, 5ft 6in and about 124 lbs.
I exercise on an elliptical machine for about an hour (burning roughly 700 calories) 5 to 7 days per week. I am on my feet all day at work, I work retail so I am constantly moving. I also bike everywhere. I live in the Chicago and don't own a car so I bike at LEAST a mile everyday.
My problem is that obeseity runs in my family genetically and I have worked really hard to avoid my genetic predisposition. I am fine with the weight I am at and am looking to just maintain. When I used the tools on this site it suggested a calorie target of 1600 but I am not sure if this is accurate due to my family history.
Any input or advice would be helpful! Thanks!
