    Hey there Izzy

    Imho that could be less calories for working out 3 - 5 times... Go google calorie calculator. There are some good ones out there.. You must calculate it to knwo for sure (evtl. that is only an estimation.... if you eat less the last couple of month your BMR could dropped because of starvation response...) Scoobys calorie calculator is good also fat2fitradio.com has one... Try that. I will copy also a link in mfp from some awesome people ...

    Cheers

    do you mean that i could be eating less than 1400 or that 1400 isn't enough?

    also my BMR is like 1432 or something and my TDEE is 2200? if that extra info helps?

    You should eat minimum 1432 and less than TDEE. If you workout very hard 3 - 5 days you should a bit closer to 2200... lets say 1800 if you push really hard. You tried up to 1600 kcal right. Maybee you still get not enough nutrients. Read the roadmap and give it a try for at least 3 -4 weeks.

    Read these threads.. they are full of information....

    I got out of slack the last 6 months. And I got back on track.. I am eating now 6 times a day and lost 5 kg in 4 weeks. So you can do that too

    this is probably the least useful information in this thread. the benefits of green tea for weight loss are anecdotal at best. It MAY suppress appetite a little and it MAY speed up metabolism a little bit, maybe, for some people, but in no way will it be THE answer. I can't tell you what the right answer is, lol, but it's not this.
