Glad to hear someone else is pondering the same questions as me... so far I think I've only consumed like 800 calories today??? Not including dinner, which won't be much more.. so I know that's still WAY WAY less than I'm burning, but I want to make sure it's not TOO MUCH less... Ugh. So confusing! hahaha |

p.214:
Be sure you are eating enough. If you're maintaining your weight, you should be eating between 1,200 and 1,500 calories daily. Some people are araid to eat following their surgery -- they're sure they'll regain their weight. Bt you need to be sure to eat a healthy diet and get the right amount of calories to maintain your weight.
p. 231 - Metabolism
.... or if you're up for doing a little math, try the follwing formulas:
Women: 655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
Men: 66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
For examble, Mary is 40 yr odl, is 5'5", and weights 175 pounds. So 655 + (4.3 x 175) + (4.7 x 65 inches) - (4.7 x 40 years) = 1,525 callories. The minimum no cal. Mary's body needs to fundtion is 1,525. If she exerts herself in any way at all (even getting out of bed and walking around the house), her body will use more than 1,525 calories.

.....(i wonder if that is a type-o for men... 66 +? I've double, triple checked the text) It continues on about exercise and adding calories... too much to type here, but I'm sure if you "google" how many calories per day, you'd get a web site to help out...
--toony, off to plagarism jail! LOL!
