    I have three embarrassing questions, first, why do I need to eat more than 1200 calories? When I logged in and registered it told me to eat 1200 calories a day so I am trying to stick to it. Second, what is MRP?
    And finally, if I qualify may I also join in support? 
    Tks

    MFP tells everyone to eat 1200 calories but in my opinion that's not really a realisic amount to keep you going through the day. If you look on the internet you can find a calculator that will give you a better figure to stick to, based on your age, current weight and how active you are. I'm 5'4, moderately active and work on around 1400 cals to help me lose the 18lbs I started off with. Since the beginning of September i've lost 7lbs which I feel is a good steady loss. Last year when I first joined here it took me a good 3months to lose the same amount eating 1200 cals

    I met with a dietician and she said 1200 was way too low for an active/young person. You really need to do the calculations to figure out what you really need. TDEE and all that other good stuff!! I do mess with my cals / macros regularly though trying to find my "sweet spot".

    AHH ok that makes sense. Will try find another more correct calculator. I am trying the "herbalife" lifestyle, which kind of feels to me like a high protien diet lol. Been on this for 4 weeks now.

    I'm serious about weight loss, but I don't eat more than 1200 calories a day. I'm in the gym 5 days a week, doing cardio and resistance training - getting ready for my first fitness competition. Feel free to add me if you want.
