Hi Guys .
Am new here my name is Andy , trying to get my head around dieting ,i started about a month ago by cutting my calories right down to prob less than 1000 a day plus exercising 4 times a week lost a fair bit of weight , now while searching the internet i came across the starvation mode ,now this worried me and i realised that i've been doing this completely WRONG !. So i've joined this site entered all my details . The site says that to lose 2 pound a week which is my goal i should be eating around 1,410 calories a day which i am doing now ,but im not sure if this is correct basically im a little confused . Any help would be so apreciated .

Im 41 yrs old
weight 214 pound
height 6.1 ft
body fat 22.41
fat weight 48 pounds
lean weight 166 pounds
BMI 28

Many thanks Andy......

I don't know much about it bc im learning too but I think you are not eating enough food! I don't have the link but maybe you can search on the forums the topic about TDEE and BMR
