Hi

Wish I could give you some information but I don't even know what I am doing myself when it comes to losing weight and what I should really eat and how many calories.....I hope someone comes along who can help you to help your friend.

There's some websites around that can measure your BMI and caloric intake suggestions for losing weight. Maybe look into it.

I'm 5'9", 229 lbs, 24 years old. My suggested caloric intake is 1800 calories/day plus regular exercise to help.
