Hi! 5'2"F, 135 lbs here. Hoping to get down to 120 lbs by losing 1-2 lbs a week. I downloaded MyFitnessPal and after logging my info, it put me at 1200 calories a day (1350 if I'm just trying to lose 1 lb a week). I've been following this so far, but I almost always find myself starving with this amount of calories. However, I've also seen advice from dieticians online that the caloric deficit should be with respect to your BMR. Since I work out 5x a week but am only lightly active throughout the rest of the day, my BMR was placed somewhere around 1500-1600 calories to lose weight.
I've only been on the MyFitnessPal caloric deficit for a week and I've lost 1 lb but again, it comes at the cost of slight starvation. Should I just get accustomed to this 1200 caloric deficit or switch to the 1500-1600 one, which is based on my BMR? Thanks!
