-E-M-'s Journal, 18 January 2018

So... This app thinks my daily calorie intake should be 2500 based on my weight and height. That's way too high! If I ate that many I would gain so much weight. Ugh. I'm setting a limit for myself of about 1500. I just can't be ok with 2500.
341.7 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 109.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Try ur weight time 11, 12 or 10

For instance 120 lbs person, 120x10 =1200 for calorie deficit 😉 For maintaining weight x 14,15 or 16

If I were to do my weight x 10 it'd be 3410ish. That's even higher. Last time I did weight-loss thing I consumed 1200-1500 a day and lost 130 lbs in a year. I went through some stuff and gained a good portion back. Went back on the diet and lost most of the weight again. Went through more stuff and gained a little back. Depression makes me gain weight. Counting calories and staying in a specific range helps me lose weight. I just think the FS calculates really high.

Use a macro calculator...iifym.com is the best.

We are on the same wave length. See my last journal post. We weigh about the same. I just don't know how to change it so the RDI = what I think my maximum should be each day in order to loose. I have averaged 1644 cal per day since Jan 1, 18 and my weight has not changed. So I am thinking my RDI needs to be 1500 cal/day in order to loose 1 to 1.5 lbs per week.

I started with the Web version and I liked it because I'm doing keto and I could track net carbs. I don't see that option in the app. With that and the inn a curate food data base or lack of, I'm going to use keto buddy. it works better for my needs.

Are you looking for help? There was a lot of good advice posted. 
18 Jan 18 by member: seeno73
Oh yes no, that’s too high 
18 Jan 18 by member: rosio19
Than I would go with 2000 😉 
18 Jan 18 by member: rosio19
And from there go done or up 😉 
18 Jan 18 by member: rosio19
But when I started I did eat an average of 1500 
18 Jan 18 by member: rosio19
Yes mine says 2200. I am averaging 1600 or so.

I think the amount of calories is also based on if you are active or not 👍 
18 Jan 18 by member: sarahib94
Actually it depends on how many calories you burn. If you burn more then 500 then you ate. , Your golden. But if your an active person and you normally burn a lot of calories, then 1500 intake is not enough. And you’ll find yourself going through a bunch of side effects because of this. (E.g. light headed, irrational, week, sleepy, etc). Be careful that you are eating enough. Figure out how much you are burning.
