How do I find out
how many calories my body needs to MAINTAIN my weight?
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before (as I am sure it has).
I know it can be trial and error, but I have also heard of some sort of metabolizism test a Dr can order.
Any info is appriciated.

I think that something like this is what you are looking for. I have no clue if it is accurate or not but someone posted it on the Men's board a while back.
Take care

Our nutritionist and program at OSU use this to measure you metabolism...it's supposed to be fairly accurate. Cost about 40.00 a test. You would have to find someone in your area that has the machine.
