i usually eat 1500-2000 calories a day. im currently exercising 4 times a week and i push myself during workouts. today i burnt over 500 calories. i find im eating less and get fuller quicker. i had dinner before the gym but when i came back i had an apple and some strawberries. i've had in total around 1800 calories. i feel a bit hungry. i want a frozen yoghurt (162 cals) but is it too much. i sometimes have healthy late night snacks i.e. fruit and a frozen yoghurt but still loose a bit of weight. im not very good at estimating calories so i could have had more of less, i really dont know.

    BMR? TDEE before exercise?

    2000 can be horrifyingly too low... it can also be horrifyingly too much. Kinda need the numbers to know.

    We can't really answer this without knowing your height, weight, activity level, etc. Also, if you're just estimating the number of calories you eat it's possible you're way off. I would suggest buying a food scale and weighing your food so you can be more accurate.

    How tall are you? How much do you currently weight?

    I can lose a half pound a week at 2000 calories a day net.
