So I'm worried that I'm eating too much to lose weight!

I am aiming to eat a healthy total of 1200 kcal a day. But for instance today I have eaten 1500kcal and have burnt off 500kcal in the gym. Is that an acceptable weight loss method or should I be restricting my intake to 1200 irrespective of exercise?

Thanks! :)

    The 1200 calories is calculated as your baseline, with no exercise, actually with little to no movement at all. So you're under calories, not over.

    Ok thanks! I don't seem to be shifting much weight so I suddenly worried (as obvious as the answer may seem).
