Question 1

how many calories does a 28 year old woman who is lightly active need to consume to lose weight? i am 140lbs but wish to lose five

Accepted Answer

weight loss math: To maintain your current weight, you probably need to consume about 2000 cal/day.  A pound of fat = 3500 calories. To lose 5 lbs, you need to burn 5 x 3500=17500 cal. If you eat 1500 cal/day (500 cal deficit) it will take you 35 days to lose 5 lbs. More exercise (increased burn) helps. However, counting calories is hard. Most people underestimate portion size. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Its what you eat: The exercise is a good thing to burn calories, but to lose fat and build muscle you need to restrict carbs  in a meaningful way while increasing unsaturated fats and protein to replace the carbs taken away. I suggest you spend a boit of time with a registered dietician and plan your meals to do this, don't need to go full Keto to achieve optimal fat burning, but it is a goal you can think about
