I suggest you read the Biggest Loser books. It says that for weight loss you should eat 7 X your current weight. For me, that is around 1200 calories. I have lost 20 lbs. in about 2 1/2 months. I don't feel like I am starving, and I don't feel like I am deprived.

I am a huge Jillian fan. She says one way to get in some cardio "with a lower body injury", is to just do some "boxing". It gets your heart rate up there and burns some calories.

Good luck with your knee injury. I deal with a bad left knee too (I need a partial knee replacement, but I am too young). I was told not to run, but I plan on doing a 5K in two months.
