A member asked:

I am 38 yrs. old, 5'2" and 155 lbs. and lightly active. to lose weight how many calories should i consume a day with hyperthyroidism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Graves weight loss: With graves hyperthyroidism, your metabolism increases, but so does your appetite. You should not starve yourself, as this could make you ill. You should be on enough Methimazole to make you euthyroid. Try to keep your calories a little under 2000/day, and you should lose weight slowly. However, calorie counting is hard. Most of us underestimate portion size.
