Ahoy! I’ve been on a strict 1200 calories per day diet for years to no avail. Pretty confident it screwed up my metabolism, I am constantly tired and guess what - I give up quite often and binge, erasing all progress.
I found this sub, learned about macros and CICO and am so excited to lose weight slowly but sustainably.
However....I am SO confused on what my calorie intake should be. My doctor contradicts my nutritionist who contradicts my disordered eating therapist who contradicts the trainers, dietitians and apps I am now using to track.
Here are my stats:
- Female
- 31 -5’5”
- CW: 195
- GW: 150, for now
- Sedentary job from home
- Workout: vigorous and consistent. 5x a week I do 30 minutes HIIT, and 45-60 minutes of intense strength training. I love it, it is my hobby and escape. On my 2x off days I hike and go on walks.
- My TDEE is calculated at 1800
- My BMR is calculated at 1600 *** something to note is after extensive testing I had a doctor tell me I have a low metabolism. Not sure if this affects the above numbers?
——- My doctor told me 1200.
My dietician and therapist says 1500.
Lose It! Says 1400 based on those stats,
while my macro nutritionist says 1850! How is that even possible if that’s my TDEE 🤔 No deficit?
I have no problem vigorously committing to CICO and continuing my workouts, so I would like a final answer on what my intake should be!
— Final notes: I have started weighing EVERYTHING that goes into my body. I have been dieting for years but am fully ready to do it right. Please help me start a sustainable new lifestyle! Thank you guys so much, I’ve been learning a lot in this sub! Also sorry for the novel ><
