I am currently set to have 1280cals/day, and dont know if I should change this. My BMR is 1421 and to lose weight it calculated to 1528 cals/day. This seems like a lot of food especially for someone who has been eating maybe 2 meals a day. I have been doing okay with eating more meals but this is still taking time to break myself out of old habits. So should I stay at 1280 or up my cals?

what are your stats? (height, weight, and age). if you dont want to post them here you can send me a message and I can run the numbers.
here are a couple of links to websites that hold valuable information. The link to bodybuilding.com is a long read, but it contains valuable information. The other link is for calculators for TDEE, BMR and so on.
I hope they help
