The amount of calories and protein you need are based first upon your height and weight, second on your activity level, and third on your medical history. (this information may be more private than you want to share here) Another good place to start is where you are now. Calculate what your current calorie & protein levels are (keep a daily diary and punch it in to one of the on-line trackers). Look at an average over 3-5 days, since people don't eat exactly the same thing every day. Take your current intake and drop it by 3-500 calories per day. Try to maintain the protein level the same if you can. Try substituting very lean meats, reduce the amount of oil or butter you use, cut out unnecesary snacks, etc. And my favorite - don't change your eating at all just increase the intensity of your workouts. Walk a little faster, go 10 minutes longer, etc. Danielle Halewijn RD eNutritioncare.com
