Should i trust the amount of calories the calculator gave me from IIFYM?! its saying i can eat 1559
with 108.5 (c) 148 (p) and 59.2 (fat)
just seems like a lot of cals because when on MFP i set a goal to lose weight it gives me 1200 cals... just unsure.
i want to trust the whole macro counting but im 100% new to it and dont want to gain weight from it. i had gotten to my goal weight and lost 80lbs but then i had my wedding and honeymoon and a second vacation and over 2 months gained 10 lbs because i was not able to really work out. i really wanna get back down to 130lbs and dont want this to hurt me but also i struggle at only eating 1200 cals on somedays!
any tips?!
