Question Need some suggestions Please

Hi,

I thank everyone for the great posts I have been reading, lots of good
information here.

So I have been reading some books and posts and come up with a bunch
more questions, hope some of you can help me understand.
I would like to figure out how many calories I need each day. I found
this formula in a good book.
BMI = 66+(6.3 x Weight in pounds)+(12.9 x height in inches)-(6.8 x age
in years)

I did this and to sustain my current wait I need 3,504.72 calories per
day. So I want to lose weight and I need to know what I should choose
for the correct amount of calories. Is there a chart for this? Does it
go by age?

Next question, I have been reading it is better to have 6 small meals
per day for 2 reasons
1, to keep your blood sugar level
2, your metabolism will burn weight faster not allowing your body to
shut down and steal from muscle.
So does anyone know where I could get ideas on the way one would eat 6
times per day (what foods) to eat... I want to make sure I don't over
due it.
I can't seem to find this data on-line.

Thanks
Steve
