Does anyone here on the forum use the TDEE method of counting calories? I found a TDEE calculator and it tells me that I should be consuming approximately 1500 calories to lose weight (based on my current weight and height). I am trying to follow the 5:2 diet but on the non fast days, trying to stick to under 1200 calories. Is anyone else following the 5:2 and could you kindly let me know how you're doing on it? Ideas on what and when to eat would be amazing. Thankyou in advance :)

If you are using online calculators try to be on a conservative side (ie sedentary lifestyle, etc), from my experience they tend to overestimate.
It's better to keep track of your consumed calories and weight, and calculate TDEE based on that information (less error comparing with estimating burnt calories during activities). You can create your own spreadsheet in Excel (or whatever) and track calories and weigh (and make calculations) or you can use something like that https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/4mhvpn/adaptive_tdee_tracking_spreadsheet_v3_rescue/
