Hi Trusylver and sakuradxb, didn't mean to hijack your thread but I'm very interested in the 1200-calorie per day diet thing. That's the number of calories I aim for, too. Now, I weigh considerably more than sakura (86.6361 to be exact), and I'm 57 years old, so I know my caloric needs are different.

Can anyone help me figure out exactly what number of calories is optimum for me to lose the weight and build muscle definition considering I'm weight training (with free weights and a bowflex) 3-4 times a week or more, and starting to sprint 5-6 days a week, too?

I've been that yo yo dieter for years and I'm sick of it.

I also don't think I'm getting enough protein. Any suggestions on how to really know if I'm getting the proper nutrition for my body type (where I am and where I'm going)?

Thanks!
