| Is this correct?
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.

The more you weigh, the more calories you're going to burn in a day.
I wish they'd be a little more specific on the amount of exercise that constitues that level of activity you're at. I never know which one to choose.

Hope this helps.

Thanks OD! It seemed WAY off to me too! I'd love to get in the 1500 calorie range. I think I will start doing that now, along with counting carbs.

Feel free to track/write down what you're eating in the blog forum if you want some feedback/ideas.  I'd love to hear your progress as you go!
