Thread: Lack of energy..?

.....................

How much are you eating? Don't reduce too much too soon. Give us an idea of what you're doing and we may be able to help.

Is that a lot less than you'd normally eat? You need to work out how many calories that is compared to your BMR etc., to be able to do it safely.

I agree, if you drop too much too soon your body won't react well. They say start by dropping 500 - 700 cals a day under your bmr but don't go below 1200. Good luck x

Definitely - and it's higher than 1200 if you're a man (sorry, George, not sure of your gender, lol). x

I believe its 1500 for males but could be wrong, if you google bmr its great for working out what you should be doing x

Do you mean TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) as opposed to BMR? My BMR is approx 1600 (what i would burn if i lay in bed all day without moving) but my TDEE is 2000......

I noticed your first meal were around 12 a'clock, don't you eat any breakfast ?
