Hi I have finally bitten the bullet and decided to lose weight. I am 5,10 and weigh 16stone .
I signed up to my fitness pal and it's calculating that I need 1900 calories per day, I checked my bmr and that says 1800 and my tdee is 2800. Those numbers seem really high to me. Surely if I need 1800 cals just to survive I wouldn't be fat in the first place.
Am I misunderstanding this? Will I be causing myself problems if I only eat 1200/1500 cals per day.
I have also started 30 day shred and couch to 5k, should I be eating my exercise calories back.
TIA
