Darlene,
The calorie range you should eat in is 1414 to 1615. To maintain your weight you should eat 2019 calories a day so don't worry about going that high on certain days if you feel hungry. But to lose, you should be eating in the range I show above.

5 to 6 meals is much better for the metabolism. Try to split them up as best as you can.
