Hello! New to the site

That I needed to eat 2930 calories a day. That is a lot!! I don't even think I even eat that much now. Maybe I did something wrong?

If you are trying to lose weight then use the following formula to establish a base metabolic rate: (your weight in pounds)divided by 2.2 then multiply that number by 24. lastly multiply that by .9 This should get you a base rate to work with. This rate doesn't include the extra calories that your body burns throughout the day or through exercise. To lose weight try to stay around or a few hundred calories below this number even if you exercise. You may not see it at first, but the weight will come off.
