Just after advice/opinions on what my daily calorie intake should be.
I've filled in loads of Tdee calculators and have got averages of my Tdee and bmr. I've tried 1200 calories/day and also pushed it upto 14-1500 calories per day. I was running 4x/week and kettlebells 2x/week. I also done 30 day shred and never lost a pound (or gained) in two months. I have a digital scale and weigh almost all food. I haven't lost weight in nearly three months. My exercise is now down to none apart from dog walking at weekend as I am back working after having baby.
I keep my protein intake about 100g/day.
So just after what people's recommendation what my calories should be and I'm happy with a slow loss of .5/1lb per week. Thanks in advance.

    You could've just plugged your data into MFP and chose 0.5lb or 1lb loss per week... it will give you how many calories to eat.

    I think 1500 is fine.
