    Your 15% cut is 2454. Eat that amount every single day and make sure on workout days to at least net your BMR.

    I'm in the same boat! *LOL* I was averaging 1,200 calories a day on a good day but recently found out I should be eating way more. My BMR is 1882 and TDEE is 2188.

    I just started eating more on Saturday afternoon and already gained 2lbs but everyone is telling me that is to be expected. Give your body a chance to adjust to the higher food intake and then you will start dropping again.

    *LOL* Yes! That's what I'm going to do. I stepped on this morning to see what it would say and saw the 2lb gain but didn't get upset because I was already expecting that to happen. But I don't want to see anymore of a gain so I'm not going to step on it again until next month on the 21st. I've read it takes anywhere from 2-4 wks for your body to adjust so I'm going to eat more and keep up my same exercise routine and just see how it goes this month.
