I wish to know how many calories intake to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check your BMR: A good way to find out how many calories you should consume is to have your doctor figure out how many calories your body consumes while at rest, on a daily basis. This number (your basal metabolic rate or bmr) is a good starting point to personalize your diet and exercise program. Many doctors offices have "body composition analysers" that can easily do this.
