Is this really my TDEE ?
I just did an online TDEE calculator. Plugged in my stats - 48 yr old female, exactly 5 feet tall and currently 132 pounds. I chose sedentary for activity level. I have a desk job - but throughout the day walk 10,00 to 12,00 steps total. It said my TDEE was 1265 calories. When I first started tracking early January - I…

not getting enough calories because my jaw is broken
I just need some assurance here. My jaw has been wired shut for the past two weeks due to a broken jaw. I will have the wires removed in 2 weeks - but still have limited jaw movement and an inability to open my mouth very far. This is because they will be putting rubberbands on for an additional 2 weeks. So I am looking at…

Struggling.....
I posted a few days ago that I broke my jaw and it is wired shut. I am having such a hard time eating. Try to drink blended things between my teeth but even before my accident I had really tight spaces between my teeth. Like it is a struggle to even floss. So when I try to slurp between my teeth - I get a few drinks and…

Fell last night and broke my jaw and possibly tailbone
I fainted last night after making a 3 am potty trip. First on my butt - probably breaking my tailbone (declined an xray for that) laid on the floor for awhile and then fell on my face when trying to stand up. I hit my chin on either the table or floor which caused my upper jaw to break. Because I was notable to eat or…

I have been searching for an answer - but can't find one. Using my FitBit tracker - I walk between 5 to 7 miles each day. So in using the IIFYM TDEE calculator - what activity level should I use?

MFP calories or fitbit calories?
Which should I use? I have my daily calorie on MFP set for 1495 - as that is what my TDEE tells me. However - if I follow MFP's calorie guideline I am then over on FitBit's recommendation. Just wondering if I should be following FitBit daily calorie allowance - as it is taking into consideration how many calories I am…

Eating out question
Hi. I have been eating healthier for about 3 weeks now. Each Friday night we go out to dinner and I try to pick something fairly healthy. This is the only meal I eat out per week. Anyways each time we have eaten out, I have gotten home and had a really bad stomach issue, that requires sitting on the toilet for an extended…
