What amount of calories should i consume a day to lose weight but also have energy to workout?

Calories: Don't focus on calories.If you eat low carbohydrate , low glycemic index(<40) foods every 3 hours, protein with every meal, you will have the energy you need to exercise at the same time losing weight.Calirie restricted diets do not work in the long term.
