Over the last few years I've weighed more than I should. Not massively so, but enough for it to be noticable that I'm a fat bastard. I put this down mainly to my complete lack of exercise but also eating slightly more than I need.
Over the past 4 weeks I've been eating about 1200 calories per day and 30g fat. I have indeed been loosing weight at a good rate and am now only marginly above a 25 BMI. I'd like to continue, but at a slower rate, being able to enjoy more nice things but having 1 or 2 (instead of none) and not eating the whole pack like I used to!
I've always assumed that the 2500/95 thing that is recomended both by our gov and others for men per day was what you should aim for, assuming you're doing an average amount of exercise. Given these figures perhaps I'd aim for 1800/65 for an extended period to loose a few more kilos in the next 6 months.
Cherry is convinced that it's actually nowhere near as high as this. I'm not so sure, though obviously everyone's body is different.
I haven't found what my target amount is to stay the same weight whilst doing the amount of exercise I'm doing (not a lot), I guess I'll find it over time when I've lost enough weight and am able to keep it there.
I was wondering whether anyone had found their ideal daily amount, given their sex, height and general build.
