As a foodie, I am constantly trying to lose weight and finally saw the need to get a personal trainer. I was working with this personal trainer because I wanted to prove to myself that I can once again fit into my old clothes but over time, I have learnt that fitness is not about fitting into the old clothes you so adore, though there is a great feeling it gives you but fitness is about your total well being which is priceless.
My personal trainer sent this broadcast and according to him, if you want to maintain your weight, 2000 calories is good enough for you but if you want to get to where I want to get to, loll! That is back to where I was before I had a baby in a short time, then you need 1200 calories daily.
So guys get calculating what you should have a day.
