Hey we're about the same weight and height! I'm 4'11" and about 140. We should do this together!!!! I don't trust the low calories, my fitbit says I burn 1700-2300 a day depending on my level of activity, so I wouldn't feel safe going that low, plus you would be going below your BMR, if my bmr is 1300-1400 I would think…

I'm kind of a mess right now. I did Keto before I was vegan and I'm not even sure how I would do that now as a vegan. Been a Veg head for about a year. And I'm leaning towards Whole Foods type deal. I meal prep a lot. But a lot of my dishes are carb based now. Like brown rice, veggie pasta, stuff like that. I'm still kind…

I've done a ton of looking online, and I'm still just as confused. So I figured I would ask people on here, people who have lost the weight and struggled and have found what works for them.

Thank you, I won't say it was an easy journey, and the disordered thoughts are still there at times. But I know better, logically.

I think I may go with 1500 for now. At the moment I cannot necessarily afford access to a dietician. If the need persists though, and this doesn't work then I will seek something out. I was jsut really confused as to how I should go about finding a balance in caloric intake.

This really helps. I was thinking about going up to 1800 but I wasn't sure if that would be right. So I just need to go up 100 calories a day, and hopefully find my sweetspot.

When i ate 1200 a day i dodnt loose anything. In fact, i gained weight. Right now I'm at 1400. Should I try 1300? I heard that you're not supposed to eat under your BMR otherwise you risk putting you body into starvation mode, which is the issue I had been having. I was eating 1200 a day and doing T25 for a month, didn't…

I try to use mostly organic, and low fat items with my lunch. I will admit it is my biggest meal of the day. Its quite difficult to cut that one down because I work a desk job, which I am sure most of you do as well, and I find that eating a larger meal for lunch prevents me from snacking throughout the day.

I do not have a food scale, But I use a hart rate monitor with a chest band to measure expended calories.

What is TDEE?

I apologize, I am 118.8 My diary is useless as I have been gone for the past few weeks with my unit. I usually eat: Small breakfast, oatmeal with a coffee. For lunch I have a ham sandwich, bell peppers, triscuts and cheese, and for Dinner, I generally have either chicken breast with asparagus and cherry tomatoes, or a boca…

Like I said with the OP, eat more! You're putting your body into starvation mode, its like trying to power a train car with no fuel, if you don't put fuel in it, it wont go.

I was doing the same thing doing intense workouts 6 times a week, I'm 4"11' and sitting at 120lbs. I had been working out for 4 weeks and only lost 1 pound. Turn out, eating 1200 cals net, I was eating less than my BMR, which is 1300, so I put myself into starvation mode, so you won't lose weight or inches. I had to up my…
