Hi everyone, i'm very new to this whole calorie counting thing, have been watching what i eat and using this website for 2 days now and somehow always seem to end the day way under my calorie limit! This is good i think but i'm wondering if i've done something wrong and the calorie limit is too high??

    that is an enormous amount of calories. are you a nursing mother? I don't even know how to answer your question now.

    Something is definitely off, it should be closer to 1500 - 2000 depending on your current weight and weightloss goals.

    I know what is the problem. You are using Kg and no pounds.

    hahahaha i'm laughing my head off because i'm such an idiot!! I had myself down as 5 metres tall instead of 5 foot 7! Sorry for being so dumb and thank you for your help...couldn't quite work out how i was supposed to eat more than i've ever eaten and lose weight!

    Now the real diet begins!! Good news is i still managed to lose 1 kg just by being a bit more aware of what i was eating!!

    Thanks again for your suggestions:blushing:

    Welcome, and what a cute story. 4,000+ a day would be awesome. I guess you would only get that if you were training for the Olympics. LOL
