What should my carb intake be? Im such a noob with dieting and knowing what foods have carbs and what have protein etc etc…

Yeah I think I did actually because I have an office job.. I’ve just changed it to lightly active and a loss of .25kgs a week and now it’s put me at 1690 calorie intake. I don’t really understand the calorie deficit stuff so I will do some research on this, me not understanding it won’t be helping lol I will try this…

I had picked the lose .5kgs a week option.. Although looking at it when I first filled it out I wanted to lose 9 kgs… Re doing it I find it now tells me to eat 1550 calories… The idea of eating more worries me… but I guess what im doing isn’t exactly working so I might as well try… I sure don’t expect fast weight loss, but…

Unsure, I guess the physical work with horses was enough to keep me in check. Nope never slipped back on, I gained about 5kgs when I quit smoking a few years ago but that disappeared once I stopped replacing cigarettes with lollies lol Sometimes when I got on the scales ild be a few kgs up but the next time would be normal…

So my BMR is 1493 and my TDEE is 2315. So my calorie intake should be 1852…? That seams soooo high!! I feel like I could eat as much as I want and whatever I want without even having to think twice about it… how can that be?

Thanks for all your feedback, sure gives me a lot more to think about.. I will get a food scale so I can log more accurately and see if that makes a change… I will try try try to log on the weekends and cut back on the carbs and sugars (not natural sugars though right?) The whole process is rather frustrating trying to…

Thank you!! I have tried the breakfast thing but I find it a struggle to eat early, don’t enjoy it and feel I waste those calories in the morning.. for about a month awhile ago I forced myself to eat breakfast and felt no change so gave up.. I am quite active I guess, I have a horse so I’m out charging around the paddocks…

I defiantly think I am guilty of both of these.. I do not use a scale and guess on things I’m not sure of but I do track everything I eat/drink (just not on the weekends), and just use the already entered exercise classes for my gym work. However my confusion comes from being able to maintain my weight while not exercising…

Calorie limit is 1200 – this is what MFP gave me, I was eating back my exercise calories for the first 4 or so weeks which I have not been aiming to do now as I thought maybe that could be it? I would like to lose about 5kgs so about 11 pounds, but judging it more on how I look than what I weigh…

Clothes fit the same… I took my own measurements about 4 weeks ago and then re-did them earlier this week and there was a bit of change but I did a real rough job the first time so unsure I can rely on that… made sure I did it properly this time so next time will be more accurate..
