Average Daily Calorie to Lose Weight

I need to lose weight. My height is 5’ 4” and I’m a 39 year old female. What is the average daily calorie intake that I need to lose weight?

Dear Susan

Most women should intake an average of 1200 to 1400 calories to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. If your intake is 1200 calories and you walk at a fast pace 25 minutes per day, you can expect to lose 2 pounds per week. If you consume 1200 calories with no exercise, you will lose about a pound per week.

By the way, men need to intake about 1600 to 1800 calories to lose 1 to 2 lbs per week. The same rules for exercise apply to men.
