how many calories do you eat?

how many calories should i be eating to lose a few pounds? fh yelled at me yesterday because i only ate 350 calories before dinner (i had a 90 cal yogurt for breakfast, 100 cal light progresso soup for lunch, a 100 cal nutty bar, 10 cal jello, a banana, water, and a diet ginger ale). i did have 2 fajitas for dinner though

your body needs about 1200 - 1500 calories per day to function properly and burn fat ... that means if you eat less than that, you will not be losing weight.

i usually spread my calories out throughout the day ... 200 for breakfast, 100 for healthy snacks (and i snack about 3 times during the day), 300 for lunch, and about 600 for dinner ...

HTH

i would eat more calories than that otherwise you will start storing fat....

Here's a good tool - it's a calculator that tells you how many calories you can eat to sustain your weight, how much to lose and how much to gain.

I am always hungry!!! I am trying to control it but it's difficult. I try to eat a few small meals a day. I also figure that as the wedding gets closer, I won't be as hungry because I will be stressed!
