thank you. I've started to eat more, i reckon 1,500 cals and im also working out, which i rekon burns 300 cals. is that ok? ive read alot about eating back calories. that often confuses me to

hi jzametti, that is not my complete meal plan. that was just an example of my carb intake. So i start the day off with tea, followed by a freshly made carrot and apple juice. an hour before i workout, i drink whey protien shake. after my workout, my lunch varys, usually tomato soup/ veggies and quorn lamb style pieces…

thank you for your reply! i will defiantly start drinking 8 glasses of water from tomorrow. i was on 1,200 calls last month, for one month and didn't lose any weight. i dont understand the tdee and bmr. my tdee is 1800 whilst my bmr is 1,500. I dont understand how much i should be eating, and i think that is the problem.…

yeah, ive noticed some difference but i think maybe i need to be more patient. ive always dreamed of a almost flat stomach! I'm hourglass shaped to, so im hoping il lose some fat from the sides to i look overall smaller. i read that sometimes its genes that slow down the weightloss process. could it be that im…

thanks for your reply amy. i think i will start measuring. im going away in 4 weeks and was really hoping to lose 1 1/2 inches off my belly. total nightmare!

thank you. i did try 1,200 but i agree maybe some of my portions were bigger then i thought. however, I've been told by many that maybe 1,200 is too little for me so my body had gone into starvation mode or something like that. if i eat 1,500 calls throughout the day and go to the gym say 4-5 times a week (1,5 hour…

thanks, as my tdee is 1,800 i minus 20% from this? ive been trying to lose weight for around 3-4 months, i went gym 4 times a week etc but didnt lose any weight at all. only toned arms and legs (which is a start). im going away at the end of next month and just want to feel confident in myself i guess. i also hear alot…

hey, thanks! i just had a look at it. the calculations really confuse me. ive tried quite a few online etc, but i still dont know how many i should be eating

i am abit confused about this to. my tdee is 1,800 whilst my bmr is 1,500. so how many cals should i be eating a day? and what does 'eating back cals' mean exactly. if i burn 400 cals, do i eat 400 cals back in that day? ive been eating 1,200 cals for a month and didnt lose any weight at all. im starting gym again on…

sounds good! my brother has whey protien, gold brand so i think il have one before my dinner, maybe add a banana and skimmed milk to it. i think 1,200 was too low for me to, so will up it to 1,500. il probs do 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of weights, i,e squats, leg machines and arm workouts. so an hour in total 5 times a…

thanks, i put my details in..it said i burn 1800 cals a day. so how do i work out how much to eat a day? and excerise. Also, i keep reading this 'eat back your cals' which i dont understand. i thought we worked out to lose the cals i just put in my bmr- which is 1,500 cals. is this what i should be eating a day? ive been…

so yesterday i tried to increase my calorie intake, but it was actually difficult! i think its because im soo used to 1,200 a day. i just need to eat 300 cals more, so i guess il have to fit in a yogurt which is usually 100 cals and maybe 2 bananas which is 200 cals. lets see how this goes! thanks alot for letting me know…

i didnt realise i was supposed to eat the calories i burn to. so, now im going to eat 1,400, say if i burn 400 at the gym..i should eat 1,800? i cant believe how much ive learnt from just starting a topic!

thanks! :-) so it seems the overall advice is for me to eat more! il defiantly start that today by eating 1,400 -1,500 calls. hopefully, that will work! im going away on holiday end of next month so would really love to lose at least 4-5 pounds.

i think your right, before i used to get pretty hungry fast but since this 1,200 watch I dont get hungry in between meals anymore! i changed my goal to 1pound a week and mfp has changed my cal intake to 1,350 lol. il still be eating 1,400 though and see any changes. Il be joining the gym again from thursday so hopefully in…

yep, 20% reduction

i tried that website, so from the stats i entered it says i should eat 1,400 cals a day. would you say that sounds like a intake that could possibly lead to more weightloss? il start eating the additional 200 cals from tomorrow

how many cals should i be eating? i researched about not eating enough calories and its pretty much what you guys said. So i guess, my body has been in starvation mode! no wonder why ive not been losing any weight. I put into MFP that i want to lose 1.5 pounds a week, so it set my goal to 1,200 cals a day. as i have exams…

Thanks for the reply guys! i was going to the gym last month but realised it increased my hunger a lot so i found myself eating so much more, which cancelled out anything I lost by working out. How much more should I increase my calories by? atm, i tend to have a glass of carrot juice in the morning, followed by a light…
