How do we know if we're eating too few calories? I think I may have had a problem with that, but it's very hard to find advice about how to determine how many calories you need. Now I'm trying Robert Belley's suggestion of multiplying my weight (in pounds) by 10 to get my daily calorie intake. Coupled with the elimination diet and Tim Goodwin's facebook drop-a-dress-size group, I'm hoping for some good results this month!

How many calories are you consuming now?
Posted by:Joshua Hillis | January 03, 2008 at 08:19 PM
This month I'm consuming around 1400 calories a day. Before I was consuming 1200 on average.

Also: I eat a mostly vegetarian diet (poultry and canned tuna on occasion, and a bunch of fat-free dairy), and I've been eating at least 60g of protein every day for the past few months (even when I was only eating 1200 calories). My current measurements are:
Height: 5'5" = 165 cm
Weight: 141.4 lbs = 64.1 kilos
Thighs: 24 5/8 in = 62.5 cm
Hips: 42 in = 106.5cm
Waist: 27 1/4 in = 69 cm
Chest: 34 1/4 in = 87 cm
