Thank you for the information guys. I'll try to find foods with higher calorie counts as opposed to trying to fit my entire day into 1,530 calories.

in I am constantly told 1,530 calories is "not enough." Is this true? Comment by jdersen January 2015
My overall goal is to be 160-170 lbs. That's all for now. Later, I'll modify it to become more toned etc but right now I just want to lose weight. --- Also, thanks all. I changed the 2lb/week rate to 1 and am forcing myself to eat a bit more. I'm not going to overstuff myself though.

So even if I'm not hungry, should I be forcing myself to eat more? Like, after dinner should I eat something more?

Hi guys. I'm 5'10", currently (as of now) 219lbs (was 273, Jan 2013). I work out 5 times a week, about 50 minutes per workout. Otherwise, I'm fairly sedentary in terms of activity. 1,530 calories is the base rate given by MFP. My BMR is ~2,045 calories. My TDEE is, according to iifym.com, 2,957 calories. Yes, I'm 18 years…

Right now, I want to eat the sandwich in my fridge but I don't need it so I'm not going to take it.

Good job everyone. I have 60-70 more pounds before I'll even attempt posting what I look like :)
