ok, one more question if I could. If I eat 1500 calories a day and burn off 300 calories, is it the same (nutritionally) as eating 1200 calories a day without exercising?
-
thanks all, so 1500 Calories a day is the absolute minimum for me?

Hi again, I am even more curious now. Because I am overweight is it still a problem that I am consuming very little calories. i.e my energy consumption is coming from my own fat isn't it? I imagine this would be more of an issue once the weight has dropped off?
-
Yes, definitely.

Thanks for the replies, makes sense.

Thanks, I am measuring carefully so pretty confident with the calories. Can you explain with this is dangerously low when it feels so right? Or point me to some good articles?

Out of curiosity are sites like this accurate? https://www.mydr.com.au/tools/calories-burned-calculator

Thanks for the advice people. I'll eat half of the lower figure... If I get hungry.

So how many calories have I burned? I'm eating way less calories anyway and even without exercise I'm in a deficit. But how do I calculate calories burned? How do you know they are wrong - ie what are you measuring against?
-
Why do you say that?
