How Many Calories Should You Have In One Day?

Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

Me= (4.35 x 190) + (4.7 x 70) - (4.7 x 18) = 1725.8

My Cabbage Soup Recipie-
1 quart of Vegetable Broth
1/2 head of Green Cabbage, cut up
1 head of celery, sliced
4 cups of diced tomatoes
2 cups of sliced carrots
2 green peppers
2 cups of shitake mushrooms, cut up
1 cup white onion, cut up
1/2 cup green onions (chives)

.
Boil 1 quart of water, add the cabbage and carrots. After 15 minutes, add the 1 quart of veggie broth, along with the celery, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. While those are boiling, cook the white and green onions in a frying pan with some canola oil. Cook until the white onions are translucent (or.. not raw). Lastly, add the onions into the soup. Stir it all together well. Add all the spices and herbs as you want to. I added garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
