Dr. Martin Fried answered

Specializes in Nutrition

Age, weight, ht: The amount of points you need is calculated on age, and weight. You didnt mention your weight. Its calculated so that you lose weight safely. Its not able to be calculated just based on weight alone. Also it varies for male and female.
