Re: minimum amount of calories needed while trying to lose weight?

The only way to really find out what your daily intake should be is to get your body fat done, with this information you can figure out exactly how many calories a day your body is burning, the height and weight charts are not accurate because only lean body mass(muscle and bone)burn calories. Many hospitals do hydrostatic bodyfat testing they do this in a pool, because of our size this is the best method to be accurate. You have to be carefull because everybody will try to tell you how many calories you need but anything less than finding your base metabolism through a bodyfat check is just a guess.
