I don't think that there is a specific daily calorie count that you should be targeting.

The 500 calories you had for breakfast today, is most likely different from the 500 calories I had this morning.

In addition, your body will metabolize those 500 calories differently from how my body will absorb it...even if we ate exactly the same things.

In the long run, you need to train yourself to be more sensitive to your body's cry for hunger or satisfaction.

Ideally, you'll want to eat or snack...just right before you hear stomach grumblings. For some people, dizziness is an indication of low blood sugar.

I think you're off to a GREAT start...all I can suggest is that you start paying attention more to the QUALITY of the foods you eat, and not so much on QUANTITY.

It's not only the healthiest route, but the easiest too.
