i am a 20yr old female, height 5'0 and weight 126lbs.. i want to get down to 110 and then maybe 100 but if i feel satisfied in between i will stop..
okay so here goes my question.. i was eating 1500 calories and exercising 6days a week.. my bmr was 1300 and tdee around 2000.. i didnt ate back my exercise calories.. i was fine.. but the only problem was i couldnt lose any weight.. then i try to drop my calories to 1350 and not eating my exercise calories back again.. two days with that drop and i already feel dead.. soo nope not right approach again.. now i dont know what to do.. some say to eat back my exercise calories.. fine, i will i have no eating disorder but my problem is that i cannot find anything healthy to eat.. oranges give me sore throat so i cannot eat them more than once a day.. other options include white bread, eggs , biscuits etc.. i try to avoid all of these i know these are bad in excess.. however i dont want to eliminate them from my diet because i know that wont be long lasting.. (not talking about egg being unhealthy, but c'mon who can eat more than one egg a day.. doesnt fit my budget).. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET THIS FREAKING WEIGHT OFF ( ..

No problem with eggs, good start to the day.

At 5'-0" you're just inside the healthy BMI range and 110 would be in the middle of it so a reasonable goal.

0.5 lbs/week or a 250 calorie deficit per day would be appropriate for a modest loss like that.

You say you were eating 1500 and not losing anything despite exercising. If that's all accurate and 100% truthful then 1500 was your TDEE according to the calorie model of weight loss. Going to 1350 was logical although if you found it a massive problem the type of foods were an issue. An open diary would help see what you're eating etc.

Try to get 70g of protein = 280 calories, 60g of fats / oils and the balance as carbs. White bread isn't a nutritious food, nor are biscuits. Think meat / fish / cheese / eggs with salad and/or vegetables.

Backing off the exercise to every other day is another consideration, it is possible to over-exercise and inhibit weight loss although that doesn't fit the calorie model too well.

eating disorder is very unhealthy matter. first of all you should avoid to excess intake of food. and try to take some nutritional substance to get body fitness.
