Hi everyone

New to this WOE and starting Monday - now mfp is giving me 1200 cals but I don't think that's enough at all - I'm aiming to stay under 20g carbs to start with

I'm 227lbs and. 5ft 5in and work as a scrub nurses I how much calories should I be eating? I was think maybe 2000 a day to start and the reduce if I stall does this sound reasonable?

Any advice would be appreciated

    Something is off! Did you calculate your BMR? You need to eat at least that many calories, but less than your TDEE in order to lose weight. Search for some calculators online to get a better estimate of what range of calories you should be aiming for.
