The rules of thumb we all know, ie 12cal, 15cal, 18cal per pound of bodyweight. Do the same rules of thumb apply for women? also, are there any female specific dietry considerations to take into account? or are men and women the same in this respect?

i think your starting point should be to look at her current diet. What is wrong with her current diet? does she have meals meals at particular or sporadic times? Are those meals full of high calorie foods that could be replaced with lower calorie foods? or does she just eat a lot of...
