I have to say this is bad advice 1300 calories is only enough to maintain a 97lb weight. It may be ok for 1-2 weeks to jump start a weight loss, but even then its not recommended. you mention "lose quickly" If all she wants is to lose the weight quickly then gain it back sure this will work, but for a life long change even…

You need to eat MORE! MFP calculates for your goal weight and if you are adding in exercise calories. Read this post it will help. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/865024-1200-and-why-it-won-t-work

http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ This calculator is easy to understand. I use this one then adjust the MFP settings accordingly. MFP assumes you eat back excercise calories, which is to much to keep track of for me. Assuming you are 5'5" and and have a goal weight of 125lbs and work out moderately 3-5 times a week it…

It is Total Daily Energy Expenditure, it takes your BMR, Basal Metabolic Rate, which is what you would burn if you were in a coma, not doing anything, then adds a percentage of calories depending on your activity level.

I would go with TDEE but remember if your average weekly activity level changes so will the Calorie total. Also some TDEE calcs show you the calories needed to maintain your current weight. So if you want to lose a healthy 1lb per week you need to subtract 500 calories a day. ( a pound of fat has 3500 calories divided by 7…

that calculator gives you your TDEE which is what you need to eat to maintain your current weight. So to lose one lb a week you need to subtract 3500 Calories a week or 500 a day.

what do you do for excercise? Even if you don't excercise, you need to eat about 1700 calories a day, based on 5'2" and 150lbs and a goal of 125 lbs. Eat less than that and it is not a long term sustainable loss, you will be losing muscle mass and hurting your metabolism. check out a BMR or TDEE calculator such as this…

+1 looking at a few days of your diary, you are eating too little working out 5 days a week means you should be eating about 2070 calories a day, according to a BMR calculator then adjusting for your activity level. This may slow the weight loss initially but then you can lose it in a more sustainable way, without losing…

I agree to this exactly, adding strength training is key, muscle burns more calories than fat so try and build, or at least maintain your muscle mass all the new fitness articles i read say it is key.

if i am translating to lbs correctly, 8.7 Stone is about 122 lbs, for someone who is 5'4" is seems like that is a great weight, in the healthy range. Reading your profile it seems like your goal is more to get into a smaller size, is that correct? It is normal to have some weight fluctuation. Running your numbers through a…
