    What calories did it give you?

    Have a read up about and calculate your BMR (calories just to be alive) and TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)...To lose, eat above the BMI number and below the TDEE number.

    (You can change it if you go to goals tab)

    If you haven't haven't started yet, you don't know if is too high until you try it.

    Why not try the numbers you have been given, and if they aren't working then think about changing it.
    There is no point depriving yourself when you could eat more and still lose weight.

    When I first started I was given 1200, it was way too low, and after a month I changed to 1600 (TDEE less 20%) and still lost but I wasn't feeling ill and dizzy all the time.
