Hi
Just so I am totally clear on what I am doing can someone advise please. My normal calories is 2000 and my goal for 1lb per week weight loss is 1500. I'm classed as sedentary.
Just so I am clear, I expect I can still take in 2000 as long as I then exercise and burn 400-500 calories. On days I don't exercise I should just take in the 1500.
Am I right in my thinking? Any help much appreciated.
One more thing, surely if I start training 3 times a week I'm then classed as lightly active and my calories should increase?
