How can I find out how many calories I can consume in order to lose weight?
I'm 19 yrs old and I'm very heavy and I need to start loosing some of this weight, I heard the best way is to just eat right and exercise and i was wondering how can I find out how many calories i should consume in order to loose weight quick and effectively also is there some online website that gives you how many calories are in each food and for fast food as well?

- most foods have the calories on the package, how many you should have varys from person to person
- yeah its caloriecount.com its really good i was using it but i didnt have enough timel;.... you should try it.
- go to www.mypyramid.gov you can register for free interactive health tools to help you track and improve your eating habits and exercise in order to loose weight. I also set up the weight loss tracker on my "my yahoo" page. I set up reasonable weight loss goals and time frames. Also speak with your doctor about seeing a nutritionist as different people need different nutrional needs. good luck
- The most common weight loss calorie count is 1200 cals per day. You need to start each day looking at the back or the labels and writing down and adding up how many calories you are consuming... then, after a few days, see what you can cut out to get that count down. Once you get an idea of what you are working with, go to whole grain breads, veggies, fruits, yogurt and small portions of meat. Or, you might want to consider the Atkins diet. It worked for me better than anything after years and years of feeling like I'd starve to death on 1200 calories a day! And, I've kept the weight off for 7 years.
- Hi, I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work! A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.fit-thin.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 5.49$ shipping and handling. Good luck!
- 12 Tips for Atkins Diet 1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure. 2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program. 3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily. 4. Don't weigh yourself more than once a week 5. Take starting measurements as well as weight - sometimes you'll lose inches before pounds 6. Avoid any type of "low carb" sweetener for the first two weeks 7. Don't compare your loss to someone else's - this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary) 8. Stalls are common around the third week so don't panic 9. If you follow your plan to the T and don't lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food 10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison 11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts - make sure your doctor knows that you're doing low carb and when you started 12. Don't blame the diet if you don't read your plan book -- blame the diet if you don't read the labels -- Don't blame the diet if you don't follow the diet More infomation you can check: <--12 Tips for Atkins Diet--> <--http://www.loseweighthappy.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=119&Itemid=62 -->
