bmi
15/f
i am 5'7 and my weight fluxuates from 124-128. i haven't gone above 130 in a few months because i watch what i eat. would you be able to tell me what my ideal caloric intake should be? and what exercises you think i should do each day to keep me at this weight? my abs are really toned because i do ab workouts all the time, so i'm pretty set with that. and recently i find myself snacking a bit more than i used to, could you tell me some ways to fight my cravings and some substitutes? it's usually things like fig newtons (even though they're the low-fat kind and i only eat a few, they're probably not hte best thing to snack on.)
thank you!

Yor BMI number is 19 for 126lbs. To loose weight (which you deffinitly don't need to) you need to eat 500 calories less of what you normally eat (which would be 1400 for you). But since you're already at your ideal weight, eat about 1900 calories per day.
Working out like Tredmill, Swimming, Jogging, etc. will be perfect for excersies. Do that for 30 minutes every other day or so.
Fig Newtons are cookies, so its not that great to over-eat on them. To avoid the temptation of overeating them, try putting them in indivitual baggies when you first get them. Put the SERVING SIZE of them inside. It'll help.
Fighting cravings is a huge pain. But what I do is drink a lot of water, and fill it up with ice. Snack on something thats less in calories, like cucumbers or celery sticks. You actually burn the amount of calories in celery while eating them. Pretend they're something you're craving.
Another way to fight cravings is finding something else to do. Like taking a walk outside. or giving yourself a manicure.
hope i helped :)
