You have a lot of calories, because you would lose too much weight too fast, and it would not be healthy otherwise. The healthiest weight loss is a gradual one, not all at once. It also helps to keep weight off once you lose it. However, when (not if) you do lose your desired weight, do not revert back to your old habits, that's the problem that I have, you will gain it right back. Good luck to you.
