No weight measurement for food. And I am diabetic but is under control with medication.

Height 5"5 Weight 179 and age is 46. I do excercise - about 40 mins of walking at 3.5mph and some light weights for 15 mins.

Thank you!

Thank you everyone. I was trying to find what my maintenance calories were at this weight. I do intend to start excercising and with atleast 40 mins of brisk walking and about 20 mins of light weights that should account for about 350 calories which should ideally be my deficit from 1700 calories. Though I still dont know…

Bump.

Thanks for all the comments. The question I am still struggling with is that I lost 20lbs by being on a 1000 calorie diet and didnt gain anything on 1500 calories. Should I go back to 1000-1200 if I want to start losing again?

Thanks AJ_G! This is exactly why I am so confused. all the calculators that I have run have got my TDEE at around 2300. And my BMR at around 1500. I so dont want to wreck my chances by eating at the incorrect calorie number!

Yes. Its 31%.
