How many calories does one need daily to maintain weight loss.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on metabolis: We have done metabolic testing. Most obese patients have had a lower metabolism of about 10 calories per pound. So, if you were 200 pounds, that is a maintenance of 2000 cal per day. Thinner patients have had a higher metabolism of 12-13 calories per lb. (24-2600 cal/day). Keep metabolism higher with regular exercise and small frequent meals.
