Calories in and out

[trigurl]

Ok this may have been asked before but.....is there some way to calculate how many calories you need daily? I am counting cals today and am already up to 1165 and am HUNGRY. I was going to try to stick with about 1400 but I only would get to eat 235 for dinner

I am exercising about 5 days a week for 50-60 min - in my zone 1 h/r - so nothing hard I am working on endurance, and doing some weight circuit training 2 times a week.

I gained a few lbs. over the holidays and they don't seem to want to go away, I have really cleaned up my eating the last few weeks but have not seen any weight loss or if I do go down a couple of lbs. they come right back in a few days Anyway, I want to lose about 8-10 lbs and as much as I HATE counting calories I know that is what it will take. I just want to make sure I get enough to eat.
