I don't know the link, but its very simple, just stagger your calories, with two low days one mid day and one high day.

Lori,
Do yourself a favor and use the accurate calculation! I just used thier "easy" calculation and I would NEVER eat THAT many cals! My high cal day is already tough to "swallow" lots of times!
If you have any questions, we are here....Kali, Jane and I all do a type of calorie stagger so we can help you out!

Wendy, I disagree. I could never maintain my body weight on 1265 calories per day, which is what the "accurate" calculation is giving me. I would be losing weight like crazy.
The "easy" method says I need 1955 to maintain my weight. I think that is much closer to reality.

Nancy, I guess this is a case of different strokes for differet folks, ey?
It's just that when I calculated using the "easy" way compared to the other way it seemed way too many cals for me as I have a hard time eating less than that...when it's HEALTHY food anyhow! lol
When I am eating BAD food it's really easy to eat big cals because the QUANTITY of food is less then when I am eating healthy...}(

Wendy,
What do you mean by the "easy" way? Just on your own sort of thing?
I think I am going to do this.I did lose weight the first week that I was eating 1200 cals a day but now I have come to a stand still and with the workouts I do, I think it may be wiser to switch it up a bit.
Thanks everyone,
Lori

This is what I use to determine calorie needs to maintain my current weight...then I adjust accordingly for my deficit days....but I actually have the formula that uses pounds instead of kg and inches in stead of cm.
Harris-Benedict Formula:
Women: BMR = 655.1 + (9.563 X weight in kg) + (1.85 X height in cm) - (4.676 X age in years)
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55
Very active = BMR X 1.725
Extr. Active = BMR X 1.9
