A member asked:
Is 1600 calories a day too much to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: It depends on your body composition, energy expenditure, underlying medical problems and how quickly you want to lose weight. As a generic answer for "the average adult", 1600 calories is not too much at all.
