Hi all. I hope I'm in the right place.
Trying to lose weight again by cutting out snacks/watching what I eat, and adding exercise back into my lifestyle. Right now my wife and I are doing about 30 minutes of cardio 3 days a week and I'm walking about 25 minutes of brisk pace 3 to 4 times a week. For stats about me; I'm 32y/o make, weigh 290 pounds and am 6ft tall. General diet most days consists of skipping breakfast (12 hour off food 8 hour on food intermittent fasting), have 300-500 calorie lunch and maybe 1000 calorie dinner. To eat more would be a struggle just because I'm not really hungry enough to eat more, but online calculators talk I need to be eating 2300-2700 to lose 1-2 pounds a week depending on which site I look at.
Am I fine to continue with my ~1500 calorie diet and not risk adverse effects from not eating enough? I have heard going to low can put your body into shock where it starts storing calories thinking your starving.
Also is it really accurate that my BMR is around 2600 calories a day?
