So I have done nothing all day but research this EM2WL stuff. I am still very skeptical over all this because what I've found, in the past, is that the more I eat the more I gain....
I amd 5'2 137 and holding steady for about a month now and it's starting to frustrate me. I have been doing the 30 day shred, have seen some inches come off, but the scale is just not moving at all!
So I calculated my TDEE/BMR/TDEE -20% and here is what I came up with......
TDEE - 1540
TDEE - 20% - 1230
BMR - 1283
So after seeing this I'm basically stuck around a 1200 cal diet! Am I doing this right????0 -

Which online calculator did you use? I put your stats into a few different ones and I'm getting an average of about 1390 for BMR.0 -
Ohh if I could also get someone's advice, that would be fabulous! This is what I've calculated using http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/...
BMR: 1397
TDEE: 2166
TDEE with 20% reduction: 1732
I am about 5'3" and have been steady at 130 for the past month. I thought it might be because I had good and bad days that all evened out, but maybe my calorie intake is the problem for my plateau? I am currently eating 1300 and I just recently started Insanity, which I accounted for in the above calculation as "moderate exercise". According to this, should I be eating around 1700 calories to see a loss?0 -
Scoobysworkshop.com is what I used. I was reading a few posts and saw this one.0

This is exactly what I've been going through too! I am currently eating around 1200 (trying not to go under) and I've plateaued! I thought maybe exercising would boost it up as it has done in the past....but nothing!!!0 -
The 1200 is net. So it sounds like you were eating 1200 and excercising and not eating your excercise calories. So perhaps thats why you didn't lose?0
