A member asked:
Can you please tell me, should 1500 calories and exercise maintain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends...: First you should google BMR (basal metabolic rate) calculator and enter your height, weight and activity level. This will tell you the amount of calories you need to eat in a day in order to maintain your exact current weight. If it is 1500, then yes. If it is higher, then 1500/day will cause you to lose weight.
