ive just realised i exercise just over 3hours a week! So I should have set my exercise to modereate level!!!!!

. I am even more shocked now.
BMR 1,287
TDEE 1,995
Daily calories to lose fat. -15%calorie reduction =1,695!
tHIS IS INSANE!!!!!

Cant believe ive been living on 1200 for so long! Ive just adapted to 1500 a day, and now learn I should be having more?????? eekkkk! Should I be having 1,695 calories a day????? Or just stay on 1500 a day??? Sorry im annoying i know! xx

    you're getting closer to goal so eating nearer to your maintenance for this size you want to be makes sense.

    The actual weight loss rate average over a month will tell you how you're doing.

    If you've only just upped your calories it may be an idea to give 1500 a chance for at least two weeks and then experiment after that. :smile:

    if you've just adapted to 1500 give it a month. If you've lost at the end of that and are getting close to goal add another 100 or 200.

    It isn't a precise science, the BMR etc is only an estimate.

    You could try adding 50 calories a day a week until you are up at your goal intake. Then it wouldn't seem like you are adding so much at once.

    well if i have 1600 calories a day, because i exercise 4times a week and dont eat my exercise cals back, ( i burn around 300cals each time i exercise) so that will be 1300 after exercise.
    So the only days I will be having 1600 really will be on my three rest days xx
