    I can't get up to 1600. But the fastest way to add calories is to add fat. I use low fat foods so that is probably part of the problem. But I learned that my goals have been reset so I need to go lower to 1450-1500. I shrank 2 inches!

    Good Job!!

    TDEE is Total Daily Energy Expenditure ~ in a nutshell it's a calculator that you put your stats into along with your exercise and it gives you your calories to eat to maintain ~ minus 500 for a deficit to loose ~ but some people are also saying minus 10-20%, not 500 ~ so I am playing with it to see what happens
