Hey John,

I’ve replied to your other message but I will reply to this too. It sounds like you have a good and sustainable exercise routine.

The key to weight loss is diet, but exercise can help you maintain that weight loss. We have an article on this [here](https://huel.com/pages/guide-to-fat-loss). Using an app like myfitnesspal can help you track your calories.

If you use this [calorie calculator](https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html) it can help you work out what you need to aim for. Track your progress using a set of scales and the mirror, don’t worry about daily fluctuations it’s normal. Finally, reduce your calorie intake once you have lost a few lbs if you want to keep losing weight to reach your goal.

Scoop is kind of an ambiguous statement because depending on how much you pack a scoop which, the amount will vary. As stated in the nutritional information, a serving is 90g which has 400 kcalories

Unfortunately not.

Roughly there is 200kcal per scoop, we recommend 2 scoops/400kcal per meal but you can do whatever you like.
