Thanks. I've rounded protein up to 30% and given myself 50% carbs and 20% fat (although will aim for a bit less fat and a bit more carbs). Will try this for a few weeks and see how I'm getting on.

Hi, I'm picking the light activity (1-3 hours exercise per week). I have a desk job. Per week i do approx: 1 hour yoga, 3 weight lifting sessions (stronglifts 5x5) with 15-20mins of cardio (usually on the treadmill), swim 1k once or twice a week. I realised I wrote the average TDEE wrong in the original post - should have…

it was set at 15% but I have now upped it to 20%. Trying to avoid the sugary drinks but will def go for rice and pasta with beans and add yogurt in for snacks.

Thanks for your suggestions will try some of these.

Hi, was just looking to check if my figures looked in the right ball park. Have went back and got the working out so does this seem reasonable? I would try this for 4-6 weeks and then review my TDEE as you suggested when I have some records to track. TDEE using 2 calculators averages about 1800 (BMR around 1450) so using a…

thanks for the advice. Will try a couple today and see how it goes.

Great post. I'm 5ft3 (5ft 21/2 if you ask my boyfriend!) and had been eating 1200 cals and was still hungry so have now upped it to 1400 gross and feeling much happier with this.

Hey nunu/scubasue, I had my goals set automatically based on height etc which give me 1200 for 1lb per week loss. I've just updated it manually to give myself 1400 calories which should still work out at 0.6lb loss per week, which I'd be happy with and I think this would be more managable for me. With 1400 cals per day I…

Thank for the reply. I think I am be "wasting calories" on things like cheese when I could just eat more veg or low calorie foods.
