Calorie Counting

Thought I'd try counting my calories a little and see if that gives me an idea of how much I need to eat. I should be eating 1,900 calories per day to maintain my weight, and 500 calories more per day is supposed to result in about a pound gain per week. So to gain 2 lbs a week theoretically I should eat about 2,900 calories per day.

Yikes. That might not be easy for me.

I used this Calories Per Day Calculator to figure some of that out.
