Bitter I Am

I admit, I'm bitter my resting metabolic rate as a 50 yr old male means I can only have 1200 calories a day to lose weight. Can't stand when people say just cut back... their version and my reality are far different

How close are you to a healthy weight?

Plugging in 50yo male plus sedentary into the following website, the only way I can get 1lb loss/week down to 1200 cals/day is by assuming you're under 4 feet 8 inches tall. If that's not the case, there must be something wrong with your calculations. Or you're yanking our chain.

I have a genetic issue, my metabolism is 34% lower slower than the average male my resting metabolic rate to maintain a 1613 cal but weight-loss it's between 1291 to 1612 and I'm 59 280. See attachment

With more. Vigorous exercise I should be able to eat on the 1400-1600 cal side and lose. My dr said I need to leave each meal hungry

Hoping it changes over time. Genetic issue so low t, on trt now so in theory should build some muscle which hopefully increasing resting metabolic rate....trying to get as much protein in the allotted. Stories as o can. Currently bin 56. Fat 156 lbs lean 122. Had a dexa scan done will return in 6 months to see what changes
