Hi all,

If my calorie goal is 1,500 calories and I burn 300 calories a day would that mean that I’m having 1,200 calories a day? I know this sounds like a silly question but I’m curious if anyone else is doing the same? I’m also doing 16/8 IF. I’ve been doing IF since September but I’m wanting to be more strict on my calories.

    My calculations when I started stated I only needed 1,200 which I thought was too low. Then the calculator actually stated I was at risk with having so little calories. I am just watching more of what I eat. Then it increased to 1,700 since I was using the treadmill an hour a day, What is IF?
