I know this is probably a tired topic but I'm really struggling.

I am 32 years old, weigh 162 pounds and have a BMR of 1,430. I exercise at least 5-6 days a week, alternating between cardio and strength training. For example, last week I attended 2, 60-minute Zumba classes, 1 60-minute Cardio Kickboxing class with weight training, ran (3 miles) 2 days in a row. My food intake ranges from 1200-1500 calories per day but that does not include my exercise which is usually between 300-600 calories per day. I have thyroid disease and take a thyroid replacement daily so I have that working against me. I have lost 9 pounds in 3 months and am starting to get extremely frustrated. Should I be eating more calories per day?

    As you say, the thyroid issues makes this a little more difficult, but I'd recommend you eat at least your BMR every day, plus your exercise calories. I can't see how much you're trying to lose, but an average 3 pounds a month weight isn't a bad thing at all.
