Hi everyone! I've been trying to read about this eat to weigh less and I've read so many things I am getting confused! I lost about 40 pounds doing Weight Watchers and was considering not paying for WW anymore and using MFP but I want to understand more about counting calories since points and calories seem to be a little different.
I weigh 137 lbs and workout at a bootcamp class for 45 minutes a day 3-4 days a week. My goal weight is 120lbs. I know that my BMR is 1,256 calories/day. I am currently set to eat 1,200 calories/day but I was reading about this eat to weigh less group and was considering increasing my calorie intake. Can someone explain to me what my calorie intake should be if I want to continue to lose 1lb/ week and how the TDEE? Also, are you supposed to eat your exercise calories back?
Thanks for any help/advice you can give!
