So I found out that no matter what I put in the mypyramid.gov calculator that’s less than my weight, the recommended daily calorie intake is still 1600. I tried a bunch of other calculators and.. results are inconsistent -_-;; It’s actually recommended I intake 1396 Calories/day according to http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm. 1551.25 to 1613.3 according to http://www.weight-loss-center.net/daily_calorie_calculator.html. 1500 to 1650 according to http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/calorie-calculator/NU00598. 1249 according to http://www.nutri-facts.com/calintake.php. Henry suggests I target a 1400 calorie diet. I guess 1400 is a good average goal to go for.

I pretty much just nixed most of my after dinner snack. And I guess since I’m out of fiber ones for now I’m open for about 100 more calories.
