Calories for maintenence
Hi. I'm fairly new here. My question is how do you adjust your calorie intake from weight loss to weight maintenence? I always have trouble with that.

I am a joyful Mom TOO!
but....not sure about how to adjust that.
I would say set your calories to abt 1800-2000 depending on your activity level.
Try posting this question in Fitclick Feedback or on their Feedback group wall.
Good luck!

I love this tool for getting perspective on how many calories.
http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/bmr/
It will tell you how many calories to eat to maintain your desired goal weight. If you eat that many calories now you will lose.

extra help
The right amount of calories depends on many factors, age, weight, physical activity and overall health. They right amount of calories will help you maintain your weight and stay healthy at the same time, a non-restrictive diet will be easier to follow on the long therm and it will be easy to make a lifestyle out of it. Some simple tips are: eat 5 meals daily (3 main meals and 2 healthy snacks), sleep well (8-9 hours), exercise daily (30 min 3 days per week as a minimum), drink plenty of water up to 2 lt daily.
Qalorie.com can be a very useful app there you can keep track of your daily foods, calories, nutrients, exercise and water so you can be sure you are getting exactly what you need to stay healthy and you can also get advice from experts in nutrition online.
