Try this to optimise weight:

Find your ideal weight (ask your doctor).

Then log on to Mayoclinic and choose ‘Daily calorie calculator’.

Feed in age, height, actual weight, hours and level of activity (light, moderate or vigorous). You’ll be told the calories to consume daily to maintain weight.

Repeat using ideal weight. Subtract second count from first to know how many calories to cut, and get more active to lose weight.
