I am female (obviously) LOL
28 years old
122lbs
5ft2 inches.

I am a childminder who has two children of my own and during the week look after another 2 aged 2 and 4, do 3 school runs a day 5 days a week and workout at the gym 3 days a week doing a bit of cardio and weight training.

I selected "moderately active"

I calculated my BMR at 1345 and my TDEE at 2076 does this sound right?

Based on those numbers, does upping my calories to 1670 sound about right? (was at about 1200, then 1300 and then 1400) I would like to lose a tad more weight, but not over fussed if I do or don't my main concern is getting a nice shape.

I do generally struggle trying to eat a lot (although today I scoffed a lot of chocolate lol)

Can someone advice me on whether I have got this right or not.

    Knowing your BF% might help increase accuracy however your calculations look fine.

    BF was a rough calculation at about 25%
