How many calories????

[Kimber-lilly 2]

I just signed on to that site--fitday.com--love it and it will be a great eye opener for me, since I eat when I am stressed, etc.....

Hey--the question--how many calories am I supposed to be eating? I average about 1000-1200 depending on how close I drive to the darn Dairy Queen! (I swear the building has magnets on it and sucks my car off the road).

how many gms of Protein, carbs etc...I am still eating waaay to many carbs.

thanks

Kimberly, If you go to www.room42.com and click on "basal metabolism calculator" on the bottom of page it will tell you what YOU need to lose weight. For me no less or more that 1200 calories to lose weight. no more than 40 grams of fat, 45 grams of portein and 165 grams of carbs. I will NOT eat that many carbs or fat grams though.

Coytote Girl Thanks for the info I just went and did mine and I think it will help having something to go by. I'm like you I don't think I could ever eat that much fat and carbs sure seems like a lot!!!

HAH! I can ALWAYS eat that many grams of fat! In fact my target for fat is 67g (not calculated by the room42 site). This was calucated by a site I have access to as one of the benifits from my DH's job.

Okay, WHO gave ice cream my name???? Luckily for me however, the DQ in my exile doesnt' taste very good. But when I get to go home... different matter entirely!

I am picky-er now about the ice cream that I eat--our DQ is FAB, darn them!

We have a cool little ice cream shop open in the summer only--run by a very tall, very thin woman--they have the BEST ice cream EVER!

Why oh why!
