How many calories do I need to eat if I have a desk job?

[Anonymous]

I am 25 years old and have a desk job where I sit all day for 8-9 hrs. Usually when I get home im far too tired to workout. However, I try and jump tope for 20- 30 min three times a week.
Im 5,9 tall.

What I want to know is how many calories do I need to eat so I dont gain weight? Im trying to lose 2-3 kg too. I eat mostly healthy. Is 1500 okay?

check out the “Harris Benedict Equation.” it should help you figure out exactly how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, and the point you should not drop below or you risk your body dropping into starvation mode.

Work out your Basal Metabolic Rate. Go from there. A calorie tracker app or website will help you.

1500-1700 is okay :) also depends on your current weight though
