Ok Kari121869,
1- How many calories are you eating on a daily basis?
2- Do you train or have some sort of exercice? I assume you do since you put 1.4
What a training week looks like?
thanks0 -

1 - I normally eat anywhere between 1350-1550 a day - I could probably count on one hand how many times I actually 'allow' myself to go over my cal limits.. special occasions or 'evenings out' where alcohol is involved are the only reasons.
2 - Yes I do alot of walking videos - Leslie Sansone. I do the 'interval' ones where you brisk walk then jog for portions of each mile... anywhere from 3-5 miles a session and I do those at least 3x a week. My exercise cals burned are what MFP tells me - but I never eat back my burned cals.
Hope this helps.. and thanks for your assistance... it's SO appreciated!0 -
So your TDEE is 1600 (avg) while you are eating 1500 ish on a daily basis?
Based on your stats, looks like it's indeed where your maintenance is at.
You have two options here:
• 1- Increase your deficit while keeping the same activities - that'll speeds up the weight loss
• 2- Add some resistance training, maybe two times per week, maybe more depending on your schedule.
If you keep eating the same amount, you'll gradually lose some weight for sure.0 -
I thought I WAS eating at a deficit - but I guess not.. other TDEE calculators gave me 2000+ for daily cals and I minused 20% to get the 1550....
Just so I'm clear - what level of cals do you suggest? My BMR is 1500 (when I look at a website I normally use)...I thought you weren't supposed to go below your BMR...
God now I'm really confused/frustrated.. just when I thought I had figured out this TDEE/BMR stuff...0 -
This sounds amazing! Is there a new link by any chance? Chrome OR IE are not liking the link Thank you so much!!0

Kari, what is the exact maintenance my calculator gives you? (TDEE) and which activity level do you use? I suggest to start.
If I look at the MIfflin calculations -
BMR 1,427
Maintenance 1,855
Cut (Deficit in %) 20% 1,484
Build (Surplus in %) 0.1 2,041
So I should be eating 1484 cals/day? I use 1.3 for activity on your sheet.0 -
Hi,
yes the figures seem accurate.
Go for 1400 ish calories a day and adjust (or ping me) in 4 weeks or so.
Track your weight on a weekly basis.0 -
