    I looked at the past week in your diary and if you average it out, you are eating 1606 calories per day. Some people do have naturally low BMR, but this is almost certainly a deficit for you. I am also 5'5" but considerably older than you (based on your profile pic - I'm 52) and my TDEE is around 1900 (based on maintaining weight, not a calculator). Yours is likely higher.

    You say you haven't lose much in the past month. How much have you lost? As you get closer to goal it's natural to lose more slowly. It's also natural to have weeks where you don't lose at all.

    It sounds like you are doing fine to me, but if you have a problem overeating at night why not just eat lighter throughout the day and save some calories for a late night snack. Or simply plan a later dinner.

    i get so hungry throughout the day i usually have too many snacks that there won't be no cals left for my dinner! i have lost almost 15 pounds. i tend to lose 0.5 pound every week but that has stopped since last month.

    Is 1320 is enough for my weight according to BMR.

    Probably not. I calculated your numbers (presuming you are 21?) and I got your BMR as 1416 so you should be eating at least that much a day.

    Your TDEE is 1700. I would eat 1500 a day on non exercise days, and 1500 plus exercise calories on other days.

    Also, so what if you overate? By how much? You would need to be consistantly eating 500+ calories on top of your 1700 to put on a pound. Relax. You don't have to hit the goal exactly every single day. It is ok to go over or under 100 cals or so. You have to be realistic. Setting ridiculous targets is not sustainable. Its a life change, not a diet. Do what you plan on doing for the rest of your life.

    You have no idea what her TDEE is. Her SEDENTARY TDEE is 1700. Exercise is added on top of that. 1325 is a perfectly reasonable calorie goal for someone with a sedentary TDEE of 1700, assuming that they add exercise calories on top of that. Looking at the OP's diary, she does.

    so 1325 is enough for me right??? i think i eating more protein that will help me and overeating problem! so besides meat and fish and chicken what are the good sources of protein?? i eat yogurt and cheese in low fat should i go for high fat ones?

    ^^ This makes sense.

    Ok

    I wouldn't say eat a 500 cal deficit if you only have a few lbs left to lose, but I am not a professional and I don't play one on TV.

    My bad for not putting sedentary in front of TDEE.
    "OP, Thats your sedentary TDEE"
    I apologise to all who I have offended!

    1325 is fine as long as you eat back your exercise calories as you have been.

    Meat is the best place to get protein, and it's the most filling. Chicken, turkey, pork, fish, whatever. You can also use protein powders but they don't fill you up the way actual meat does, and you seem to have a problem with satiety.

    When you get dairy products, get the regular ones and not the low-fat ones. Fat is good for you.

    I don't think any supplements are necessary. I think most women would benefit from a calcium supplement, but if you're getting enough in your diet there's no need for it. Vitamin D is also a good idea if you don't get out in the sun much. I recommend a simple calcium citrate+vitamin D supplement for most women. Other than that, I think a multi can't really hurt but also isn't necessary.

    Personally, I don't believe dairy fat is all that healthy, though it is a debatable subject. I like to limit it, but that's just me. I would add fat through things like nuts, nut butters, seeds, avocado or olive oil. Nuts are a source of protein, fat and fiber all of which are very satiating.

    i love nuts and try to have peanuts and almonds everyday. though most products are roasted and salted which is not good but i think they are a good source of protein.

    Overeaters on a weight loss and fitness site? Probably not.

    Good luck with your journey, though.

    lol!

    i am not trying to lose weight fast! just a few more pounds and i'm done. i try to be 120 pounds. but my weight has stopped in the same place for a month now and i overate in the past few weeks. my diary is open now! thanks for ur help!

    Try losing slower. I don't net under 1400 or I turn into a psycho. When it's five pounds, it doesn't really matter if you lose it a bit slower. And like others said, make sure you're eating protein. Fiber is also good, and make sure you're getting enough vitamins and nutrients. If your body feels like it needs something, it's going to want more food.

    <Binge Eating Disorder, plus many, many other illnesses.... only cured by changing WHAT I eat. Yup, for me, the food/macros matter. My diet is fat based and carbs are very limited. Binge eating disorder, for me, was NOT psychological; I was malnourished. Now I am not malnourished and I don't over-eat and I lose weight effortlessly. Oh, and did I mention that I feel like Superwoman?

    Edit: at 5'5, 129, you are at the lower end of your healthy weight. You should be eating more than 1320 anyway to maintain your weight. Perhaps your body knows best?

    btw: peanuts are a legume. If most of your nuts are salted and roasted, then they are not optimal for your health. Try raw nuts, they are truly delicious and it's easier to not over-consume them.

    Why is roasted and salted not good? If you eat so many that you go over your sodium limit, I suppose that could be a problem, but there is nothing wrong with roasted nuts.

    I found that reducing the amount of carbs I ate, especially early in the day, really helped me control my appetite. I used to have a bowl of cereal for breakfast and would be starving by 10:30. The hunger would stay with me until I overate, usually when my impulse control gave way at night. When I started having a breakfast of yogurt and fruit with nuts and flax seed, my hunger level became much easier to control.

    Not sure if this will help you and I have only my personal experience to support this approach, but perhaps it is worth a try. My food diary is open if that helps. Good luck!
