Calories per day?

[Eve60]

If 2000 calories is the amount needed a day for a women just to maintain the same weight what do all the ladies aim for in calorie numbers to reduce weight?

All women are different, Eve and we all need a different number of calories to maintain and a different number to lose.

We advise you check the NHS BMI calculator, as being the easiest way to calculate your calorie requirements

Thankyou

Have you done the NHS BMI calculator? We are all different and require different amount of calories

My range currently is 1463 - 1881 - so I aim for 1600 and then I have room to move down as my range moves down too

Yes did the calculator and it does give a nice variance of calories to aim for when you are managing well and when you have to have just a little bit more in a day, that is doable I think.

Glad I came across your post I was just thinking about this myself 🖒

[Eve60 in reply to LouA2016]

Its quite a variance depending on where you look but I think as long as you are under the maintaining calories of 2000 for a women per day you will lose weight, weekdays seem easier but weekends are hard as I'm really finding out today, right now I really want a big sandwich but I've had my calories for the day so am trying to resist!
