So if I eat 1200 calories and do no excercise I will only maintain and not lose since I am not creating a deficit under 1200?
-
I guess I am asking if my calories need to net out to the 1200 goal or if I need to eat 1200 and then if I excercise I can be lower than 1200 for the day
-
So I am still not understanding - so if my goal is 1200 and I eat 1200 then add 400 excercise then I am back down to 800 net - so do I need to eat 400 to get back to the goal of 1200?
-
Just the percentages
-
No medical problems - just wasn't sure if sugar and sodium were also important to track
-
I am ok with the calorie number - just curious about the macro ratio
-
I plan to workout (swim, walk, row) 4-5 times a week for 40 mins
-
It is swimming and walking and going to try some rowing - and some hand weights

Thanks everyone - so everyone says to make sure you are accurately measuring your activity calories earned - I was just going to enter them into this site - is it accurate enough? Or something else better with more accurate calorie burn?
-
I clearly am quite stupid she it comes to understanding all this - so if I calculate my tdee at my ideal weight is says 2166 - so that means once I am on maintenance I will be consuming that much? So how to I go from 1200 to lose the weight up to 2166 without gaining it all back??!!
-
So even though it says I should consume 1300 now should I increase that so when I am half way to goal and not losing anymore I have somethings to decrease it to? Or will it change to an amount lower than 1200 automatically at some point?
-
I guess I am not being clear on my question - thanks for all the responses and feedback so far but can anyone tell me how I find out what my caloric intake will be for maintenance and if eating1200 calories throughout my 45lb loss will I continue to lose as I am already at the minimum recommended caloric intake
-
How do you know what your maintenance calories for your goal weight will be? To make this easier I am currently 189 lbs with a goal of 145 lbs and I am 5'3"
-
I am ok with the 1200 but what I am wondering is if i am already at the lowest recommended caloric intake will I not plateau at some point during my loss before goal? Or is it possible to lose the 45 lbs while eating the same amount of calories for the whole time is takes to lose it? I would have thought as you lost weight…
