You have a BMR of 1525.45.
this means that you can consume that number of calories per day without either gaining or losing weight. If you add exercise into it then you can consume more and remain at a steady weight, or if you exercise and do not consume more then you would lose weight. it takes about 3000 calories to equal 1 pound
In order to maintain your weight you want to eat your weight X15. So that would be 145X15=2175 calories a day. :)
