in Health and Weight Loss
Height: 63"
Weight: 61kgs / 134.482 lbs
Goal weight: 58 kgs / 127.868 (Increase muscle & reduce fat.)
BMR: 1321
TDEE: 1585
Carb:Protein:Fat = 50:30:20

Tools: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ (This site uses the 'Mifflin-St Jeor' method to calculate the nos & not 'Harris-Benedict' Method.)

I have Rechecked my weight, recalculated BMR, TDEE & reset my goals. I will now eat at my TDEE (sedentry lifestyle- I have a desk job & my only exercise happens when I gym.). i.e. 1585 cals & not eat exercise cals unless m really hungry!

How does that sound.. need some honest feedback guys. Are my numbers accurate? Will I loose more If I up my cals?

I am happy with my self now but ofcourse, I still have a lot of fat on my stomach & love handles. I have lost 7 kgs in a year (more inches than lbs). I am in the gym for an 1 hr (35mins - total workout time) for 4-5 days a week. it is strenous as I have a personal trainer & he makes me workout hardcore.

    I think if you've already been logging for a while then you should use that data & trends in weight gain/loss to calculate maintenance.

    The only thing is if you've been dieting this whole time (a year) then your metabolism is likely to be slower than that of someone who was "naturally" your weight.

    I'd estimate someone of your stats naturally to be around 1850-2150cals for maintenance.

    So have you had a diet break any time?

    When I started in Aug 2011, I ate 1200 for 3 months (I know..I know).. sonce then , I eat1300 (then calculated BMR )+exercise cals, approx 1500.

    Last 3 months, I have been on maintenance inspite of working out & eating 1500-1600.
    So I guess, yes, I have been dieting. But I eat healthy & try n incorporate as much proteins as possible.
