    No 21 year old male should be aiming for 1200 a day much less 1500. I don't know how accurate your logging is, but if you don't want to end up skinny-fat, I would advise you bump to at least 1800 (depending on your height) and start lifting heavy things.

    Eat what you enjoy just in smaller portions. I still have pizza, pasta, burgers, chips etc. Enjoy your food :)

    Yeah it's stupid. My BMR is 5500kJ anyway (and I've cut out exercise for now), and going 200kCal below my TDEE means I'd be getting that message every day if I were strict with my diet. I wish they could let us toggle that message off. I've frequently eaten a bit extra just to not get that message, even though I know starvation mode doesn't work like that.

    Um, I'm eating less than 1200 but also working out. From what I hear this is a bad choice o-o

    This is why I drink my vegetables. Put it in smoothies and juices and you're all set.

    Hi, I am also on 1200. I've just had ankle surgery so am very inactive at the moment. I'm going to see how 1200 goes for a few weeks then adjust if I need to.
    Anyone is welcome to add me! X

    But I'm not miserable, I have to admit when I first started I wasn't doing it the right way but now I've got good plan. I full myself with protein so that I won't get hungry and time my meals and snacks accordingly so that I don't find myself binging at night. (Which was a big problem in the beginning) I'm not eating just lettuce and air, I just portion and try to substitute foods that are high in fat, carbs, sugar, and calories so that I can be about 3-400 calories under 1200, exercise already included.

    I'm eating 1200 calories, but this is based on a sedentary lifestyle. I did earn 170 calories extra today because I exercised.
