MALE: To loose some weight, drop to 2500 or 3000 calories per day until you get closer to your target range, then you may have to adjust your intake to keep loosing weight, but make certain that you get at least 80 to 100 grams of protein in those calories. Lean beef, fish or skinless, broiled fowl are excellent sources of protein, but keep the total calories down. The protein will help you keep your muscle mass, which is the part of the body that burns the calories. You don't want to loose muscle mass, so make sure the protein intake is adequate. FEMALE: If you truly are a heavy exerciser, cut your intake to 1500 to 2000 calories per day at least until you get closer to your target range. Whoa... I suggest that you eat diet food, really. and small amounts and you should see an nutritionist, you are at a risk for heart failure.
