oh thanks, sheepotato! I will check out the group

i'm going to swing between 1200 and 1600 for a week and see how I go. I simply can't do 1200 a day; all I think about is food!

I'm 5'7 and not tiny, and I just had 1600 calories today... whoops! but according to that other site that's what I should be aiming for. At least I don't feel hungry now...

thanks for this...this looks much better. I think I can eat around 1600 calories a day and lose weight safely. that is my TDEE minus 20%. did I work that out right?

thanks everyone

great! we'll keep each other motivated!

yep!

I like this very much. Thank you. Start with a protein and build on it. my daily is actually about 1,800. I was going to split into 2 meals.. brunch and dinner

no, my daily allowance is 1,800. that includes the extra calories I earn with exercise, and is how much I can eat and lose the weight I want. I thought it easier to eat 2 main meals with no snacks, so split the calories into 2

thanks, so if the cals suggested in 1,960, to be on the safe side, I might want to stick with, say, 1,800?

thanks

oh! I think I did misread it! phew!

perhaps I misunderstood the goals... nutrition 1200 calories exercise 760 calories does this mean that if I stick to my exercise plan, I can actually eat 1960 calories???

it's what MFP said!!! (i'll recheck my settings...)

can you do this programme if all can't run but can walk moderately and do weights only? or is it real full on

haven't read the whole thread but if it's still on i'm interested

now that's my kind of diet!

thanks for all the responses.. I will probably have to make today a 'cheat day' as I couldn't resist something a bit more substantial for lunch than a salad and a thin piece of meat... had a big mac *oops*... :blushing: but I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 1kg already and my goal is 0.8kg a week, so I figured I…
