How many calories should i be eating per day?

I'm not trying to get thinner, but I've been eating a lot, so I want to know how many calories I need to eat in a day.

I'm 51.5, and I weigh 112LBs.

The average person needs 2,000 calories per day.

take everything your eating

and divide it in half

that's how much a diet meal should be

To get your basic calorie needs (how much your body burns just by existing) You multiply your weight in pounds by 11.

So your basic calorie needs are 1232

Now multiply that number by 1.6 to get your calorie needs when factoring daily activity. That is your resting metabolic rate
= 1971.20

1971.20 is your daily calorie needs at your current weight (this is not factoring in any exercise)

If you want to lose 1 lb a week then subtract 500 from your final figure. Thats how many calories you want to consume daily.

The normal women under the age of 50 needs 2100 calories a day.
