Thanks for your input Ken. I have sometimes thought that eating at my goal weight is the sensible thing to do. I try for 1500 cals 20 carbs a day and most of the time it's good, sometimes I feel weak like I haven't eaten enough for energy. I don't know. Now I want to pick up swimming and weights so maybe I need to keep my carbs down and increases calories? I am 69 and 5'10.
