Instead of stopping to eat back exercise calories which will bring you probably under a 1000 a day, which is way too little, why don't you try to use the TDEE -20%/-15% method? -> use this form here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Once you filled out the fields, check below what you should eat to lose.
