Does this sound right?

Female

Age 22

Height 5'7 or 67 inches

Weight 112-115 pounds

Resting rate calories: 1400

Maintanence calories: 1600

Maintanence calories with exercise: 1800

Gaining calories: 2000-2200

Does this sound/look right? I have tried so many different calculators!!!!

Advice?? Are my numbers right, too high, too low??

No, your BMI is 17.5 (or less if you really are 68.5 inches, not 5 ft 7 - they both can't be right, although onlineconversion.com says it's right - I thought there were 60 inches in 5 feet?), which is underweight.

The website I use (calorieking.com.au - the Australian one, not the American one) says you ought to be between 58 and 76 kg - you are currently under 52kg.  And you ought to be eating 2517 cals to get to your ideal weight.

Now if you were a few inches shorter and 112 pounds was your ideal weight, then you would need to eat 1995 calories (with a 45 min walk each day) to maintain. 

I am a few inches shorter than you, 118 pounds and a 45 year old female and I eat 2300 calories a day for maintenance (one hour of physical activity each day).  But the calculators say I should be eating 1500 calories per day (you need less as you get older apparently).  It's different for everyone.

I guess I am 67 inches then if 5 feet is 60 inches and then adding 7 inches to that right??...maybe my calc is wrong???

Anyway, thanks for your comment and suggestion nads27!!

Does anyone else have any help for me? Does this look right?

Hey :)

I recovered from Anorexia Last year and we are the same height. My lowest weight was 100lbs and to gain i started at 1600 calories and worked my way up to 2300 calories to be 124lbs as of today :)

I maintain with 2050 calories on days i dont work out and 2150 calories on the days i do work out (at 124lbs) but at about 110lbs it was around 1800-1900 calories.

I run 6miles every week and weight train 4-5 times a week

I hope this helped some what :)

edit: btw 67 inches is 5ft 7 [=

oooo and i used CC's expenditure tool to figure out my maintnance calories etc at first....but once i reached 120lbs i hadda figure out what numbers worked for me the best.

It's too low to gain.  Your maintenance calories with exercise should be 2100 so you need 2500-2700 to start gaining.

It depends on the person really..me and her are the same stats in height but she might need 2500-2700...

personally i ate 2300 and strength trained and got to the 124lbs i am today :)

Thanks so much ornellanicole2007 and gi-jane!! I really have been bothered lately with what sounds right versus what is actually right ya know? I exercise like 4-5 days a week doing home dvds (pilates/yoga/strength training) and a little running or jumping rope.

Right now I am probably around 1400-1500 a day and maintaining, but I know that I want to eat tons more without gaining massive amounts suddenly. So what you both are basically saying is that if I up my intake a bit then I will still be able to maintain (1800-1900) and if I up to 2300-2500 then I will gain?

You both have helped soo much....just trying to put this all in perspective. I have had a nutritionist before but she wanted me to go straight to around 3000 and that totally freaked me! Gradually is the way to go for me at least!

I am basically just looking for the accurate resting rate, maintanence, and gaining numbers necessary! I know that everyone is different but I guess I am just really confused about whether or not I should adjust my intake.

Have you considered slowly increasing your calories?  For example, you can add a 100-200 calories each week or two until you reach your desired calorie range and then reassess after a few weeks.   

Once you find out how many calories it takes for you to maintain, you can then add 250-500 calories on top of that number to find your "gaining calories". 

A lot of it is going to be trial and error and slowly adding calories to find what number works best for you.  :)
