Pages: 1 how many calories....       #273627 - 07/12/06 05:25 AM Edit Reply Quote lissylou73 Reged: 06/20/06 Posts: 154 Loc: West Virginia (IBS G&P) I got bored at work last night and started reading an issue of Family Circle. It had a formula to use to determine how many calories a person should have per day if they are watching their weight. I thought it was helpful, so I wanted to share: take your ideal weight and multiply by 13 (if your level of activity is low to moderate) or multiply by 18 (if your level of activity is extremely high). For example, I would like to be 125 pounds x 13 = 1625 calories/day. -------------------- "There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats."

It was just something fun to figure out. I tried the other formula several times and couldn't get the numbers to come out right -------------------- "There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats."

Sorry it hasn't helped you before...I struggle with it too....why does it have to be so hard to lose weight?? -------------------- Natalie Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oh I'm so sorry....       #273983 - 07/14/06 06:34 AM Edit Reply Quote lissylou73 Reged: 06/20/06 Posts: 154 Loc: West Virginia (IBS G&P) Don't be sorry. I didn't think you were being a busy body. I'm just really bad with math and I thought the simplified version was easier.
