Specializes in Child Psychiatry

This range: 125-140: Represents healthy body mass index of 23-25. Larger frame person would support more weight. A person who does light exercise & consumes 1900 cal/day maintains this weight. If desire wt gain then more calories are necessary. If desire wt loss then more physical activity, healthy nutrition, & good restful sleep are very important. 1500 cal/day would result in loss of 1 lb per week (slow & steady).
