I wanted to see how many calories I could take in and still lose about 1 pound a week so I went to thedailyplate.com and filled out their calorie calculator. It told me I can consume 2,907 with light activity and lose 1lb a week. That seems like a lot of calories!!

Sedentary lifestyle I need 2,776 calories for a 1lb loss/week. That still seems like a lot!!

My stats are

Height 5' 6"
Weight 320 (might be less now, but was 320 when I got weighed in Oct)
Age 40
Female
Activity level is mostly Sedentary because I'm still nursing my foot wound.
