How many calories should a 5" 6, lightly active, 41 year old woman with a weight goal of 145 consume?

Dietician: 145 lbs sounds like too much weight for your height. To lose weight, with your low level of daily physical activity, 1000 calories a day may be effective. I strongly recommend that you have one visit with the dietician at your hospital who will help you determine your ideal weight and advise you about a personal diet and the ideal amount of daily calorie intake you should have to achieve your goal

Metabolism drops: Remember after age 40 your metabolism begins to slow so it is very good you are active. Now you will need to eat 2000 cal oer day to maintain your weight. Your at is appropriate for your height. Now if you desire to lose wt though you should not. You should exercise 1 hour per day and eat 1800 cal per day. Hope this helps
