I guess I am very dense I do not understand this. Where did the 95 come from. I am 5ft 2inches So my ideal weight would be 110??? I have been told that for years and at one time I was down to 109 but that was after a bad car accident when I was 20 years old. How did you find the number of calories needed.

Thanks
