I was originally 65 lbs overweight about two and a half months ago. Im now 45 lbs overweight with a 20 lb weight loss. I used three different TDEE calculators and they all basically told me for a sedentary guy like me (cube job) I should aim for 17-1800 calories for 1 lb a week weight loss. Obviously this lowers when I lose weight.
Ive been aiming for 1 lb a week, eating mostly protein and carbs for the strength training Im doing 45 mins 4x a week. I'll admit it isn't the cleanest eating (fast food, fatty meat) but I always log and stop when I get between 17-1800 calories.
This has somehow caused me to lose between 1.8-2 lbs a week. My wife says this is not healthy and I need to eat more. I looked this up and got conflicting information, some say you should only go for 1 lb, and that two is not sustainable, others say 2 is the highest safe amount to lose per week.
What are your experiences?
