i'm not exactly sure how many calories i should be eating to be honest. i've used online calculators and stuff, but you never know if they're correct.
i wouldn't say i'm sedentary but i'm definitely not super active. i go to school on a big campus, and i walk between classes. i quit my desk job because i can't stand the boredom! i babysit now, which isn't sedentary, but not the most active thing ever. i'm really hoping i can drag myself to the gym at LEAST 3x/week.
we'll see! |
I'll have to look into that website, it sounds great!
To figure out how many calories you should be eating, you can use a BMR calculator, or post your age, height, weight (I think that's it..) on here, and hopefully OD will pop in here and calculate it for you!
Here's a link for a BMR calculator I was using:
BMR Calculator
The number it gives you should be how many calories your body burns daily without exercise, so you'll want to cut that number by a certain amount, and add exercise to achieve your goals.
