How many calories should a 5'4 female who weighs 230 pounds consume?

Typically, the average adult must consume 2000-2300 calories a day to maintain current or static weight. To reduce weight, decrease caloric intake and increase physical activity. Something as simple as walking a mile a day can make a huge difference, and it takes only about twenty to thirty minutes to walk a mile at a moderate pace. The time will lessen the more often you do it and as your physical condition improves. With time, increase the distance and try to reduce the time for greater results. However never try to reduce caloric intake below 1500 calories per day without medical supervision.
