I need to lose a few pounds. I work out about 2 hours a day. Is 1600 cals good?

It depends on your activity level and how much you weigh. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, most healthy women should consume between 1,800-2,400 calories a day. For more active women or women who weigh more, the recommendation is to consume more calories, up to 2,800 per day. Weighing how much you have lost each week and tracking your diet is key to reach your weight loss goal. Your doctor can also help provide guidance or refer you to a dietician if needed.
