newbie ^-^ Help with calorie consumption

Post by lucky8502 »

Hi everybody,
I'm new around these parts and just have a couple of questions.
Ok so the calorie calculator says goal calorie consumption is about 1988 but I have never in life eaten that much :shock: . It does seem really high I was just wondering if any other ladies on here have eaten this much and lost weight. Oh I am a 22 year old 5'5 172 and I work out 6 days a week burning about 400-500 each time and I walk about a mile to classes everyday.

Thanks so much for your help

You will lose weight eating that much, so don't worry about it.

As long as your weight training and Cardio are a good enough quality it is more than possible to eat that much and lose weight.

Thanks boss man I'll give it a try :D since main objective isn't to loose weight but to fuel body so I can become more active.
