Okay, I am sooo confused!!! I have read many many many posts on how much a person should eat and I have a question. How much should I be eating???
My TDEE is 1794
My BMR is 1500
I am 5.4, 167.4lbs, 39, female, and have a desk job
If I follow the - 20% of the TDEE it equates to being 1360 rounding down to 1300. I have also read that one should NEVER eat below their BMR.
I have been eating no greater than 1200 calories on most days and often less than that. I have lost about 2 lbs a month and want to lose the 2lbs a week. Can anyone out there please help me in figuring out how many calories I should take in daily? I also exercise some (doing 30 day shred right now). Like many others, I am affraid of eating too much. PLEASE HELP!!!
If anyone needs more specific information please let me know as I am so confused as to what to do!!!
Also, MFP notes I should eat 1200 calories a day to lose 1.5lbs a week
