calorie advice please

Just checked on myfitness pal & it says my allowance should be 1200 . Does this sound right as lots of sites say that's quite low & your body could go into starvation ! I'm 5 5 tall & weigh 12 10 my goal is 10 stone . I would like to aim for 7 lbs a month which I think is ok . Any advice would be good thanks . : )

Hi. They say the minimum is 1200, so that's not bad for your weight and height. I try to stay at that and I'm heavier but I know my body lets go with less. You will soon gauge whether its not enough or too much when u see what you are losing as everyone is different, but I wouldn't worry if u go lower as long as you eat healthy regular foods.
Hope that helps!

if you excersise just eat more to cover your burn.
You can start at 1400 and see how you feel with that, if you feel 1200 is too low

good luck x
