| New Here-some questions :)
Hi guys, I'm new here. I was wondering if you guys could tell me how many calories a day I should be consuming. I am 5'10" 193 pounds BMI of 27.7 according to an online calculator. My goal is to hit 180 then try for more after that. I have been walk/running about 2 miles at a time (today I ran a whole mile without stopping I'm so proud of myself) 2-3 times a week. This week I started strength training on Monday, hoping to do it MWF and possibly one day on the weekend. Yesterday I calculated my calories consumed and it came out to around 1400. Is this too small for me? My freshmen year in college instead of gaining the freshmen 15, I actually lost 20 pounds or so which was awesome but over the course of 4 years it has slowly crept back. Funny thing was I wasn't watching my calories then but I was riding my bike everywhere. I've also been riding my bike to work 30 min there and 30 min back when it's warm enough and not raining, but I was only able to do that once last week. I want to do it every day. Would this be too much exercise for me?

Well, by the looks of things, you don't need any help!  Exercise is never enough, but you do need at least 1 day a week to give your body a rest...
Keep up the good work!

Would this be too much exercise for me? | First I see you are looking to lose 13lbs in about 3 months, which is about 1lb a week.
Based on your activity level and stats, assuming you keep that up, I calculate you needing to eat 1850 calories a day on average to lose a lb. a week. If you drop that to 1575 calories a day on average you'll lose 1.5lbs a week, and 1350 calories will get you to lose about 2lbs a week.
Hope this helps!
