How many calories should I consume per day?
Hey, I've put on half a stone during exam season and am looking to shift one stone over the next month if that is at all possible. I am female and currently weigh 147 lbs and am 5 ft 3. I will be going to the gym three- four times a week, each time burning 500-600 cals. I just wondered what I should cut my calorie intake down to... I've done a calculator online & it suggested roughly 1300-1500 cals per day, does this sound accurate or is this too little? Thanks
Just eat what you like... I would say around 2500... If you lie down all day you lose approx 1400

A good place to start is a total daily energy expenditure calculator such as in iifym.com

Have you lost your mind?
(I'm assuming you misspelled bulk" here)
It's more about WHAT calories you eat 
Try and eat about 1,800 of healthy food... Or less if it's fatty and sweet
And eat a large breakfast, large lunch, and small dinner - that way food itsnt sitting in your stomach overnight ^-^
