“To lose weight, pick a daily calorie limit and stick with it until the weight comes off”

NOPE. Here's the thing -- there's not one special number that works for everyone. You and a friend could eat exactly the same foods, in exactly the same amounts, and only one of you might lose weight. The number of calories needed for weight loss varies due to many factors: current weight, height, activity level, etc. Plus, that number can change as you drop pounds. If you want some instant info, consult a calorie calculator that takes the aforementioned factors into consideration. You may also want to talk to a doctor or nutritionist for professional advice.

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
