"Diets" always talk about how to cut calories or burn calories. But what I've never known is - how many calories should I be eating to BE at my "ideal" weight? And how many calories do different exercises burn?
Found a great site.
Here's a calculator: Enter the weight you WANT to be, and the rest of the info, and it will tell you how many calories a day will be that weight (obviously you need to eat less to lose more faster): http://www.fitwatch.com/qkcalc/tdcn.html
And each decade after 30 you need 10% less calories (this includes that, but what a bummer!)
And here's a calculator for how you're burning calories: http://www.fitwatch.com/qkcalc/activitycalc.html
