Well my active energy average for the past few weeks has been about 900-1000cal, but perhaps I’ll just keep on doing what I am, cause it’s not like I’ve gained lots and I’ve always felt fine, never sluggish or anything. I generally do weight myself once every night, sometimes every few says, which is why I’ve noticed it…

I’m 183cm tall, I currently have it set to .5 kg a week, brought it down from .8kg not long ago. Before it said to eat 2500 calories now it’s around 2230. My end goal is 80kg. My watch is linked but it only counts steps for MFP, anything else I have to log myself, but the Watch’s app does have all my workouts logged also.…

Well again, I apologise, to me that’s what it sounds like which is fair to assume. And I’m aware that you should be eating what it recommends, but in my situation, what it recommends would have me eating a lot more than what I have in the months even leading up to my weight loss probably. Not exactly a simple case I guess,…

Yea I’ve had people tell me I should be eating way more. But I eat my meals and then don’t have the urge to eat more. Someone has told me if you dont feel hungry then I shouldn’t worry about having to consume all the calories it recommends me on MFP.Whether that was true, I’m not sure. I do keep my weight and goals up to…

I eat roughly 1600 calories a day, someones more sometimes less, I exercise a couple of hours before dinner so unless it’s one of my low cal says (200ish calorie dinner) I most likely do eat it back.

Yep I usually have a few early shifts which usually leave me having a delayed breakfast. Been looking at an app that suggests meals that meet my recommended calorie intake. Full on suggesting banana and Peanut butter sandwiches and stuff? Sounds interesting but it’s designed for weight loss so aha.

Very good way to look at it. Once I’ve found a steady plan I too will try and follow that. I am ever so worried now after all the stuff you taught me cause now that I’m on a 2500 calorie day. I still have 1900 calories left too eat and I’ve already had breakfast and lunch. Think it’ll be something to focus on tomorrow.

Apologies aha, but I’ll do that! I’m aiming for 80kg as an end goal. I’d still be stoked with 90kg even. I feel like going for 70kg may leave me with too much extra skin. But also not 100% sure how that all works. I plan on playing ice hockey starting July. So sorta wanted to do my best to at least lose something, cause…

Alright I’ll try it out man. Eventually is it a good idea to raise it to say 0.8kg a week?

I had it as active already. But I changed it down from 1kg a week (sorry lol) to 0.5kg a week and now it says 2780 calories a day.

I work, so that involves lots of walking about 8000-11000 steps each day I work. I also either lift crates of produce and or push a heavy-ish trolley type thing. I burn about 200 on the bike but can’t calculate how much I burn doing the strengths. The app tells me I burn about 290-350 for a work day(3-8hour shifts) So…

I will definitely have to take both your words into consideration. It does seem my research was bad. I always thought you had to burn more calories than what you ate. Obviously I wasn’t doing that anyway. I just found an app called “Eat This Much” it will allow me to say how many calories a day I should eat and then it…

Alright, appreciate the help. Apologies for giving ya’ll shocks lol If there is anything else you can recommend im happy to hear. Cheers

Still a bit of a beginner. I haven’t feel overly hungry over the days especially considering what I use to eat on the normal. I guess just by doing the research it said I should limit to about 1300 calories? So I was doing a bit less than that in hopes it’d be even more effective. So would you recommend aiming for the 2250…
