Does anyone know how many calories I need to maintain my weight and how many I need to lose weight?* I stumbled on a website that gave me the info a while back but cannot find it again.* If anyone knows where I can get the info or knows the answer please let me know.* My grandma is making home made POT STICKERS for dinner and I want to know how many of them I can eat to not go over for the day.* Thanks!

Here ya go, B...this will do it.

Free Diet Plans at SparkPeople* <--- How many calories*you should eat
CalorieKing - Diet and weight loss. Calorie Counter and more.* <--- How many calories in a potsticker
Those should get you started*

I used both sites Tamira gave you.* The*www.calorieking.com*I use religiously!!!* Try them and you'll be hooked.....kinda like this site!!* *

But you need to google a couple of other sites and compare, cuz I checked one and it said I needed to be eating 3000 calories a day to maintain my current weight!!* NO WAY!* I wasn't eating nearly that many and I sure wasn't losing weight!* So check out several sites and compare what they say.* The American Heart Association website is probably your best bet.

You have all the websites you need for the info, but don't use it as Gospel.

As you lose weight you will obviously need less calories.

Also, you can get by on way less calories than most of those sites give (and still get 100% nutrition) but you have to be EXTREMELY careful about what you eat (basically nothing but salads without dressing or steamed veggies and a little bit of meat and a few nuts for each meal).* I try to do this once a week just to kick-start my weight loss and my total calorie count for the day is less than 800 but I'm full all day and I eat more fiber and* veggies and vitamins than I do on my 'normal' days where the calorie range is 1500 give or take.

****ok I give? What is a pot sticker?
