Once Albert is at his desired body wecight and i involved in your exercise program, how many Calories may he consume daily to maintain that weight? Maintenance Weight Calorie intake calories Current status Goal status Albert's Weight-Loss Plan 1. Desired weight loss per week 2. Caloric energy intake reduction 3.
