My BMR is 1,546...I'm getting paranoid, because I put in on here I wanted to lose 2lbs a week and it gave me a calorie allowance of 1200.......................

is this correct? or am i eating too many calories?!

    This is a good question, I'm confused about the BMR too. They set mine at 1296 and set my cals at 1200.

    actually, because you don't have that much weight to lose, 1200 might not be enough. its the absolute minimum a person can eat without going into starvation mode.

    What you should look at is what your maintenance calories are. You can find that on your goals page. If you reduce that number by 500 cals a day that's a lb a week. When you don't have much to lose you shouldn't really go over that or your system will suffer. Just because you CAN set it for 2lbs a week doesn't mean you SHOULD. :wink:
