There was a hiccup.
I have been wondering for a long time if the government calorie guidelines are way out of wack. I am pretty sure they are. I’m going to try on my own going below them and see how I feel. FS still recommends 2,300 for me even when sedentary is mark. Feels like way to many. Going to 1500-1800 and see my results.
239.0 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 59.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Ok just to help you out. This is just a tracking site with suggestions. look into caloric deficit programs. Learn how to track and then tier down your carb intake. It’s a Guaranteed science.

I do not think the calorie guidelines are way out of whack. I think that usually the problem is that people do not accurately measure how much they eat so they underestimate. Sometimes they do not count added fats or condiments or little things they stick in their mouth when they visit the kitchen... but I am not sure.

The governments guidelines are aimed at folks who are young. Age has a lot to do with it. anything over 1600 lbs is too many calories for me. For being in a losing mode you need to try for 1200-1500.

It just depends, I'm 77 years old and I don't exercise and I eat 1500-1600 calories a day and I've lost over 70 pounds in 14 months. Also, I do CICO, so there are no food restrictions as long as I stay within my RDI. I eat whatever I'm hungry for.
