Need some advice on daily calories

maxiem7

First let me tell you a little about me . I am 73 yrs old not active at all due to a back problem. I have lost 61 lbs! I am finding the calories that MFP is giving me now 1320 calories is tough for me to maintain. I have 22 lbs to lose before I hit the goal my Dr and I set. Do you advise I should change from wanting to lose 1 lb a week to 1/2 lb? Or should I eat somewhere between 1320 and the amount calculated at 1/2 lb a week and see how it goes? Thank you for your advice!

Congratulations on how far you've already come!!!

With only 22 left to lose, I would definitely decrease the loss rate to 1/2 lb. Better to be a slower loss and sustainable than to try and lose too fast and be starving every day

Thank you so much for your reply. I will change to 1/2 lbs a week.
