Title: Please Help Straighten Out The Calorie Talk!!! I don't want to be bias, but Adrien, I like your responses to everyones questions and back in May someone asked a question about calorie intake. I read in Fitness magizine in order to maintain ones weight they should consume about 16-17 cal/lb, and to lose weight, one should consume 13-14 cal/lb. If this were true, and since i'm trying to drop 20 lbs at 180lbs, I should consume roughly 2300 calories? This sounds high. I don't want to consume too much and gain weight, but I also don't want to deprive my body. I usually take in about 1500 calories. Is this enough? HELP PLEASE because I know to lose weight, you need to burn calories (along with the weight lifting), but my weight is not going anywhere and I would think that eating 1500 is would drop lbs. (Oh and of that 1500 cal, I do eat fruits/veg, meats, cheeses, breads, etc. -I eat good). CONFUSED. Name: Nicole Date: Jun. 11th, 2001 Title: Re: Please Help Straighten Out The Calorie Talk!!! I wish I could answer your question exactly... but I can't quite. I'm by far no expert, actually I'm 13 years old, and I've been studying nutrition for quite a while... I've heard you should consume ATLEAST 1200 Calories per day... and 2300 does seem very high for losing weight. What I'm doing, is 6 meals a day, and I try to keep every meal around or under 300 Calories. That's about 1800 Calories per day... from what I know of, you should try 1600-1800 Calories per day. This is a healthy amount, and still low enough to lose weight quickly... you might want to check in with a personal trainer or someone who knows more on the topic of Calories... but from what I do know, 1600-1800 would be good.

One more thing, before I go to bed or for snacks, all I like to eat is fruit (all kinds), but of course, I get bloated and gassy, which is very annoying. Can you give me some advice as to how to handle this-all I like to eat is fruit and usually veggies for snack, which I think is good, but this is a very discouraging bodily function which bothers me and makes me want to avoid fruit. HELP AGAIN PLEASE! thanks in advance. Name: Nicole Date: Jun. 11th, 2001 Title: Re: Thanks Adrien-But One More Thing Well... I don't think there's anything you can really do about that, that I know of. Try cutting back on them, but not cutting them completely.

Carbos are stored as fat if they are consumed before you go to bed. Nicole wrote: > Thank you Adrien!! It makes sense what you are talking about.
