Women's Calorie Calculator - Good Resource

http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm

As I was searching for some information for a diabetes education class that I am preparing for, I found a great resource to calculate calorie needs and to help you to determine how much you need to increase or decrease your calorie intake to loose or gain weight.  This tool also includes customized recommendations for calculating the number of calories you can burn if you exercise.

If you have other great tools that you use for yourself or patients who are working to maintain and gain an healthy lifestyle, please share them!

Thank you!
