i am a 20 year old female 5'1" and 114 pounds. For losing weight all websites calculate 1200 or lower. For the past two weeks now I have been running every other day and walking a minimum of 5 miles a day (12,500 steps). I calculated my calories for today and lately and it's been ~1700 calories daily. Is that too high for my size should I cut it lower? Thanks

I calculated 1,600 to maintain on Scooby's. It sounds like you're doing 300-500 cals. a day of burn, right? So, no, it doesn't sound like 1,700 is too much, given that I assume you wish to lose slowly since you are already smack dab in the middle of healthy weight range.
Are you trying to lose weight or maintain?0 -
My favorite weight is 108 so I would love to get to that again. Thanks for the input though I was worried0

IF you eat 1700 and you don't lose or don't lose as quickly as you'd like, lower it. Calculators are all estimates.0
