<p>I'm 19 and 7'5. I weigh 156. I don't really look overweight but i am absolutely in no way in shape. I would like to weigh a little less as well. </p><p>I bought some exercise videos to do daily and trying to figure out how I can balance out what I eat. I have a very odd schedule right now, so I don't eat too often. I'm a night nanny, so I am awake all night. I get to sleep at 7am to 3pm, then work out and eat a light meal. Then I'll eat dinner around 8pm before I have to get ready to go to work again. I haven't been feeling too well lately and don't know why that is. </p><p>How do I know how many calories I need daily?</p>
