These tables will help you calculate the approximate calorie needs for women or men.
Note that variables such as age, height, activity level, percentage of body fat, metabolism, and types of food consumed affect individual calorie requirements.
To lose weight at the rate of one pound per week, calculate your calorie needs then deduct 500 calories per day. To lose another pound per week, increase your exercise and activity to burn another 500 calories per day. Note that reducing your calories too drastically can result in a slower, damaged metabolism as your body fights the starvation it believes is attacking it. So, remember to treat yourself better and lose the weight reasonably.
