If you weigh 130 pounds and you want to weigh 122 how many calories should you eat?

Answer 1

once you weigh at least 70 pounds or so you should eat 20 calories for every pound of weight un less you are on a diet id which case you should eat about 15 for every pound (of course some what dependant on age)

Answer 2

This depends on how soon you want to lose this weight. You want to lose 8 pounds. In caloric terms, one pound is 3,500 calories. That means that you need to lose 28,000 calories to lose 8 pounds.

It is important that you don't try to lose weight too fast. If you do, your body has many mechanisms to "fool" you - it may go into starvation mode, in which it restricts its own processes in order to conserve calories. The way you can get around this is to lose weight at a healthy and steady pace.

A good benchmark is to not lose more than about 2 pounds per week. Two pounds means 7,000 fewer calories, which means you would need to eat 1,000 fewer per day at the most. At this pace, you would have your new body in a mere 4 weeks! Adding a healthy amount of exercise to your daily routine can also aid in your weight loss goals.
