The NHS BMI calculator nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we... gives you a calorie range that will allow you to lose 1-2 pounds per week. It is based on your individual numbers and not just some generic range.

Once you have found your range, you can track your calorie intake in various ways. I (and many others) use MyFitnessPal myfitnesspal.com It’s a free app. I signed up using my computer and then downloaded their app to all my devices to have it readily available everywhere I go. It’s easy to use, just don’t use their very low calorie allowance!

Im not a big fan of calorie counting myself, but it is a good way to start your journey because it is so important to get an idea about the calories in the foods and drinks we take in.

Good luck!
