Q: I am 32 lbs, I am 44 years of age , female. what would be the proper amount of calories to loose 32
Create a balanced diet with about 1500-1600 calories and about 30-60 minutes exercise daily. Each meal (with portion control) should have a healthy, lean protein/whole grain carbohydrate/healthy fat and 2 snacks can be fruit or veggies plus EITHER a fat free yogurt or part skim string cheese or a small handful of nuts or bean or hummus dip with the veggies.
Once again as you lose weight you might have to (a) increase exercise effort - closer to 60 minutes daily and/or (2) lose about 100 calories daily if you do have significant weight loss.
If you include weight training - you can probalby stay close to the 1500/1600 calories thru the process.
