I have been working on losing weight for a while now through sustainable changes. However, I have hit a plateau that I seem incapable of surmounting. I have taken a more holistic approach to these changes up to this point where I have tried to significantly reduce portion sizes and binge/emotional eating rather than trying to implement some crash diet that I won't be able to sustain once I've reached my goal. This has worked well, but now I'm seeing no weight loss at all--just completely plateaued.
I recognize that I'm still eating too many calories, and that in order to lose more I'll have to track and eat less than what I am. And I'm already planning on starting that process, but I am incredibly confused (and frustrated) at trying to figure out what my goal caloric intake should be. I followed the instructions in the wiki/FAQ to use a TDEE calculator and came up with a metabolic rate of 1400 calories. However, I'm pretty sure I'm eating more than 1400 calories right now, and if I aim for a calorie deficit with that metabolic rate I'll be looking at the 1200 calories/day minimum.
I'm not sure if there's actually something wrong with the calculations or if I'm just in denial and bargaining lol.
Stats used for calculator:
Female (I'm trans but have been on HRT for 10 years so seems like it'd match metabolically)
40yo
210lb
5'8"
Sedentary job
60% body fat
Any help/advice/encouragement would be greatly appreciated!
