Here are some rough estimates for you based on your age, height and weight.  Your level of activity, build and other factors may affect these numbers. If you want more exact recommendations see a doctor or dietician.  If you want to start a diet or something you should see a doctor.  Your doctor would be better able to suggest things that are more tailored to you as an individual.  \n\nCalories about 3000/day\nProtein about 66grams/day\nFat about 100grams/day\nCarbohydrates about 459grams/day

Count calories and exercise. You will lose weight if your calorie intake is less than your calorie expenditure.\n\nThe easiest way to limit your calories is to watch the fats & sweets. Fat has 9 calories per gram. Protein & carbs are 4 calories per gram. BUT it does all come down to using more calories than you take in.

Trim down to 1200-1400 calories a day and do 45 minutes of aerobic exercise a day.  It is dangerous to lose more than 2 pounds a week.  It is dangerous to eat fewer than 1200 calories a day.  Low carb diets were shown to be dangerous YEARS ago (they were a fad in the 1960s).  Carbs are the most important part of your diet and health.  If you are under 21, diets can be dangerous because your brain is still growing--see a doctor or nutritionist for advice..  If you are over 40 or have health problems, you should see a doctor before starting a weight loss plan.

Typically you should have at least 1500 calories in order to lose weight. Remember , you must eat to lose weight. And this is my assuming you are a woman. For a man I think it is 2000.

http://www.calorie-count.com/\n\nIf you check out that site, it will give you a free account, with a number of calories you should eat to mantain your weight, the exact percent of protein/carbs/fat isn't all that important, the carbs should be about 50-60% fat low 20s and portein in the high 20s-30s. And the site will give you a pie chart of them, and keeps track of fiber and what not. And there's a message board if you need to ask questions or just want to talk. It has a database of foods and activities to keep track of everything you eat and do. And sooo much more. Check it out. :)

It really depends on how much weight you want to loose. How much you already weigh doesnt really matter. Typically, the average calorie intake a day is 2,000.\n\nIf you are planning to lose between 10-15 pounds, cut back to 1,800 calories a day, until you lose the weight\n\nIf you are planning to lose 15-25 pounds, cut back to a 1,500 calories a day, until you lose the weight.\n\nIf you are planning to lose more than 25 pounds, cut back to 1,100 calories a day, until you lose the weight. \n\nIf a person is more than 20 pounds over weight, it might be a good idea to subract an extra 100 calories a day.\n\n\nThe most important thing to do is keep track of where you are getting those calores from. If you are getting your daily calorie intake form junk-food, thats not going to help. Try to fill up your calories on healthier food.

Drop your calorie intake to 1400-1600 calories only.  Cut out as many carbs as you can.

Depends on your height, weight and body mass index (percentage of fat and muscle in your body). For example, for a 5 foot 4 inch woman of 145 pounds who is trying to lose weight, the ideal calorie intake for one day is 1200-1300/day. Now if its a man, you will want to eat more because on average, men have faster metabolic rates than women. 3,500 calories is one pound so basically if you can burn 3,500 calories in one day (very difficult) you lose one pound in that day, or you intake 3,500 calories and you've gained a pound...thats if you have been sitting on your bum all day. Its helpful to search these sorta things online on diet websites, there are many...hope this helped...\n:)

increase water consumption to 80 oz. a day, break your meals down into no less than 4 (so you keep your energy up and don't bombard your body with too much in one shot), increase your activity level, restrict your sugar and carb intake and be mindful of your portions.  A carb should be no larger than your clenched fist and a protein should be no larger than the palm of your hand.  Make your carbs and proteins the side dishes and vegetables and some fruits the main affair.

Ok, I tried this and it worked. Cut your calorie intake to 1000 per day and cut your total fat intake to 10 grams per day. Then cut your carb intake to 10 grams per day. When you eat, eat small  amounts every 3  hours. Also, try walking or cycling in the morning before you eat your first meal.

1 gram of fat contains 9 calories of energy\nthe thing is you burn calories to get it in you and to store it and such so instead of 4500 calories you might think it is actually going to be less.\n\n3500 calories per pound is the standard number used which is equivalent to 3855 calories for 500 g.\n\nso it depends on if you are talking about a human eating less or working it off to lose the weight or if you are talking about the amount of extra calories you need to eat to gain a pound (3855 or 4500).\n\nweird huh?

Depends on your total calorie intake.  There are many schools of thought about this, but here's what works for me (get out your calculator!):\n\n1 to 1.5 grams of protein per day per lb. of lean body mass.\nEqual amount of (healthy) carbs.\n20% total calorie intake from (healthy) fats - like olive oil.\n\nThat's a 40-40-20 diet, but different people recommend different things.  Find what works for you.  In general, stick to whole, fresh foods, lots of fruits and veggies, and unless you have a serious health concern, just have fun and don't worry about the details.  Just be reasonably smart about your choices.  And when you pick up a food, ask it - "Are you good for me?"  Then listen to your vibes for the answer.  Your body knows what it needs, so learn to listen to your own body signals.

You are eating more than you spend.  Average person needs ~2000 calories a day to keep the body functions normal anymore than that is stored as fat.\n\nEat right and exercise, the only two time tested methods to weight loss.

An intake between 1200 and 1400 calories per day is considered a low intake.\n\nCaloric intake BELOW 1200 should be avoided. It will lower your metabolism (so you actually start burning fat slower). Also, you most often will NOT be getting the nutrition you need, resulting in brittle bones, messed up periods, hair loss, and tooth decay.\n\nSexy huh?

Depends on level of exercize, etc. but the average diet is probably between 2000 and 3000 calories a day.
