Hi everyone. I’m a 5’0, 156 lb. woman. I’m in my twenties and newly postpartum. I was roughly 127 before I got pregnant and 172 when I gave birth a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been on weight loss journeys before. I made my biggest one about 8 years ago and went from 190 to 160 through portion control and cardio. Then the weight kept falling off once I started a new job. At my lowest I was 120-125 lbs. I went on another weight loss journey after I had my first child a couple of years ago and lost about 20 pounds with body weight/light dumbbell expertises and Pilates mostly.
So here is my question. I haven’t been cleared to exercise by my doctor yet. I’ve mostly done household chores for activity. Whenever I use a calorie calculator, and I say I’m either sedentary or lightly active, either way my calorie needs are about 1,000-1,100. Can that be right? That just seems too low to me. But I’m also only 5’0. I can’t increase my activity level for a few more weeks. Idk. Could someone’s needs be that low? I’m doing intermittent fasting right now, and I’m wondering if I should cut it down to OMAD with such low caloric needs. Advice? TIA.
