Counting calories

[Smiley12346]

I have been counting Calories but I’m really confused to how many I can have a day to loose weight

Hi Smiley12346 - have you used the NHS BMI calculator to find your calorie range?

Here is a link - nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we...

If you fill in the details it will give you a calorie range and it's advised to start towards the top end of your range and go from there

I hope that helps!

Calorie intake is different for everyone even someone the same age height build and weight as you

It will depend on your past dieting history how much you move and health medication etc

You can find a starting figure but will have to fiddle around with it sometimes tingwt the right amount to lose weight.

To lose weight by calorie counting it is ultra strict you have to weigh and measure everything this is why I switched to WW as you don’t have to weigh and measure vegetables

Whatever you do I hope you have lots success
