Hello! I am 40s F starting weight loss around 167lbs. I am doing intermittent fasting while also restricting calories—with calculators putting me at about 1200 cals a day for weight loss given my largely sedentary life. I have been trying to also exercise and get 30-60 mins in (cardio/Pilates/light weight strength) 4 or 5 times a week, typically burning an extra 250-300 cals.
I know that you are not supposed to lower your calorie intake below 1200 for healthy weight loss without having too negative impact on metabolism etc.
If I am exercising and burning an extra 200 calories should I also eat those calories or is it fine to just have a larger calorie deficit on those days? Even when not exercising and I just haven’t eaten all my calories by the end of the day bc I’m just not hungry, should I try to squeeze in a healthy snack to hit 1200?
