Not sure how many calories eaten in a day are good enough or healthy for you?

Really glad Ayush you found it useful :)

I just checked the link, it is working for me, but try this other link: https://www.freedieting.com/calorie-calculator

I figured out that the following two STEPS will give us all the control we need:

Identify what are your maintenance calories (calories need to maintain your current body mass), for which you need the calculator.
Once ID, then decide if you want to:
2.1 Gain from current
2.2 Maintain current mass
2.3 Reduce from current

Once STEP 1 is done, then move on to MyFitnessPal mobile app to track how many calories you are consuming in a day. You will be relieved to know that Indian Foods are very much part of their DB.

While those data points will still be directional, it will give a strong sense of what you are up to.

When you say Frequency and Timing of each meal, essentially that's what we end up doing when we track/ document. Listen to your Body Clock, and not the wrist watch to feed yourself. Hunger should drive meal time, and not our wrist watches.

Cheers to Health and Wellness :)

Say something nice to JrKachhawaha…

This is excellent Rohit.
Thanks for sharing.
The calculator link you shared seems to down.
Any other calculators available?

Question - Do these calculators work on Indian food as well?

Personally, I have found just monitoring the frequency and timing of each meal works well for me.

But I'm sure tracking calories will work well as well.
Thanks again!
