Hi, I was just wondering if someone could help me, im a 19 year old male, 6'3, and weigh 210 pounds. I started dieting a few months months ago, and lost 40 pounds. But I didnt really research how to diet healthily, and I was eating 1200 calories a day - Ive now been the same weight for the past 4 weeks and its really starting to frustraite me. After reading up on plateaus, and learning how it may be caused by the metabolism slowing down due to lack of calories, I gradually increased my calories to 2100 a day, and ive been eating 2200 a day for the past 2 weeks and still ive lost no weight. I usually go on a 2 mile run 3 times a week, and I do weights every day.

I was just wondering If someone could tell me how many calories I should be eating to lose weight? Ive used various online calculators, but they vary a great deal, with some saying as little as 1500, and some saying 3000! So I just want to know if im not eating enough and need to increase calories, or if im eating too much and need to reduce - Thanks.
