in Introduce Yourself
Hello Friends,

I am a 28 yrs old, 5.10 ft, 191 Lbs male staying in Holland. I am trying to lose atleast 27 lbs in 3-4 months. Just now I realized that I have been eating only around 1500 calories everyday after calculating calorie intake, where as my BMR is 1952 calories. To be frank, 30 mins of jogging (started very recently) and walking (30 mins on an avg) is the only physical exercise I do and work keeps me busy at office most of the time. Planning to join a gym within next few weeks. Should I eat atleast up to my BMR level to lose weight (and less than TDEE)? Or should I continue taking 1500 calories on an average with jogging, walking?

Please wish me good luck to achieve the goal. Thanks :)
