For women its around 1200 calories a day I think - its a women and men thing as opposed to size and height.

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

the recommended guideline daily amounts for an average adults is woman 1500-2000 and men 2000-2500.

chuckles i am laughing at the amounts i am lucky to do 6/700 a day since my bypass

and i think it needs revising women can be far more active then men. the more you do the more you burn off

 

[julia in bath]

yh i certainly think recommended calorie amounts should be revised, who knows when they were devised

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

the calories i quoted was for adults of a normal healthy weight, i dont know what julies actual calory intake would be for her hieght & weight.

chuckles liz i realised what your quote was for as its what i already knew, just amused as it varies so much, and people themselves have different metabolic rates.

Mine at the mo differs from day to day so anywhere between 400 and 700

Hiya!
I think we are around the same height and weight...I was in hosp recently too and saw the dietician and she advised me about 1000cals a day and 90-120g of protein HTH

My friend is doing weight watchers and we worked out That for my bmi I should be on something like 3200 cal per day. this is a far cry from the 1000 cal pre op diet I'm following.

You could try a w w web site and put in yr details and see if it come up with something more realistic than the perfect body maitainance no. for miss average!

My bariatric pysche said that it roughly 30 cals per kilo to maintain weight. For a typical 10.5 stone woman to maintain that weight, she would need 1800 cals a day to maintain it.

if you go to theis websire you can put in all your details and it will tell you exactly how many calories you should have for a good weight loss. You can also use it to keep track of your food and it will break it down into the different food groups and tell you gram wise how much fat, protein, carbs etc your eating.

Womens bodies are designed to better store fat. To accurately calculate how many calories you need a day to sustain weigh ( not lose or gain) you need to calculate your body fat index, i've got a calculator that i can email to anyone thats interested that you enter your details into and it will show you how many calories you need to sustain weight and how many to adjust it by to lose, but its based on normal body absorbtion, and relies on you knowing your body fat content ! so not much good for bypassers, though interesting stuff.

 

[BlueDiamond]

Oooohhh yes plz ss.... I would be most grateful, as i am looking to lose no sustain weight.....any tips gratefully received............all the best - mejulie xx
