Reply With QuoteWell...tracking what you normally eat over a 3-5 day period would be the most accurate...then you could take the average and drop a couple hundred from that.
However, that would be in an ideal world. Most people are eating the wrong things and/or not enough food and therefore would benefit from simply cleaning up their diet some....before even considering a calorie reduction.

Also depending on how much you're eating now, you might actually need to increase your cals to a normal level and let your metabolism recover.
A general guideline to follow:
12 and lower cals per LB of BW to lose
15cals per LB of BW to maintain
18 and higher cals per LB of BW to gain
This is just a general guideline and you will need to make calorie adjustments based on weight, mirror, BF, clothes etc observations."The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." -Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate
