Hi all! I’m sorry, I’m sure many people ask these questions but I’ve been combing the threads and haven’t really found the answer to my questions. Please no hate, it’s been a long time since I’ve done calorie counting and I’m determined to succeed this time, so be gentle please.
I was just wondering whether it’s possible to eat too little calories? I’ve read all the starting guides and I know it says this is a myth, but my weight loss seems very stalled compared to when I’ve done this before, and I’m worried I could be doing something wrong.
I’m 154cm and 88kg, with a BMR of 1,527 and a TDEE of 1,832. I eat approx 1050 calories a day (I was aiming for 1200 but I’ve been full so embracing that) and I’ve been increasing my steps. I know it’s not overly accurate, but Fitbit says I burn approx 2500 a day (steps 10,000-15,000 daily) so even if it’s inaccurate, I feel I have a good calorie deficit. However my weight doesn’t seem to move much. I’m still starting out but I probably average maybe 500-700g loss a week. Does that seem right? Even then, I seem to be slowing this week when compared to my first week, so could be less.
Before anyone asks, I weigh all my food meticulously. If I make a recipe, I weigh out all the ingredients, oil and all. I’m confident in the calories I’m eating, just weight loss is slower than when I’ve done this in the past. Although I am older now (31yo). Does this seem right? Am I doing something wrong?
Sorry again for the stupid questions, it’s just the first time I’ve really been motivated in years and I’m worried I’ll give up so I want to make sure I’m on the right track. Thanks so much!
