How many calories a day should I eat ?

I do low carb and low calorie. The low carb reduces appetite making reduced
calories practical....

They usually say to stay above 1200 calories per day. I do about 1400.

Hi. How many calories a day should I eat ? I am 5 feet 6 inches tall,
female, and currently about 210 pounds. I would like to cut down my
calories to the minumum I should eat without putting my health at risk.
Any advice would be appreciated. I tried the low carb diet, but it
didn't work for me.

Thanks.

Without knowing your age, activity level and health, it's hard to
say. The safest thing to do is consult with your doc and a
nutritionist.

But to give you a comparison, I'm female, age 52, 5'8" and weigh
215. I want to continue to lose weight, so I consume an average of
1,500 calories daily. I also exercise 60 minutes to 90 minutes, five
days a week.

I continue to work with a nutritionist as well as my primary care doc.
Because I am diabetic, they both warned me against going below 1,200
calories daily.

As always, YMMV.
