[QUOTE="hadleyvbaxendale, post: 96066, member: 5476"] If you want to lift iron (I'm 72 and have been lifting since 22) to get into shape by building muscle and losing fat, then just eat the way you used to eat before lifting (don't add calories if you are older than 30), and start lifting. A good book for the beginner is Starting Strength, 3rd Ed, which has the basic lifts for strength. Don't worry about what you weigh, since muscle weighs more than fat, and fat takes up more room than muscle: as you get stronger, you will have strong, dense muscles, and you will be smaller.
