A member asked:
What amount of calories should an obese male in their 40's eat in order to lose the weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1600 calories a day: It is hard to give an answer without knowing more about the individual patient's weight, height, and activity levels. In our research trials, we advise men to eat a 1600 calorie diet and then adjust the diet based on weight loss and exercise. This should cause weight loss of about 2-3 lb per week.
