Some say the calories you eat should be around 10 to 12 times your current body weight and some it should be around 10 to 12 times your goal weight.

RickinTN: You are correct, you have read both on this board. That is because, there are several schools of thought about this. I do not think there is a "correct" answer. It's based on what works for you. It's just a general guideline for you to follow. You could try to eat around 10-12X your current body weight at first. If you don't lose weight, then perhaps try 10-12X your goal weight. Happy LCing!!!
