Hi community,
I'm new to diet and weight loss. I'm trying to go from 194 to about 180. My BMR is about 1900.
I've been dieting for 9 days consuming about 1100-1300 calories/day. I lost 1lb in the first week working out 5 out of the 7 days.
My question for you experts is how many calories should I be consuming to lose the greatest amount of weight in the quickest and healthiest amount of time? I'd like to use 1.5-2lb a week if possible.
Thanks community!

19 years old. 15 lbs to lose?
Please eat at least 1800 every day. If you're active and you're measuring everything accurately (with a digital scale) you should be pretty close to your 1.5 lbs. Though I'd prefer you eat more, please don't eat less than 1800 total.0 -
I appreciate the advice WBB55. I think I've been measuring calories pretty accurately for the most part, but I'm taking your recommendation in using a digital scale. I'm picking one up first thing tomorrow.0
