Hi everyone, I'm counting calories and I'm using the Lose It! app to do so.
Bottom line is: My BMR is 1727. The amount of calories I'm allotted a day is 1418, and I usually eat around 1200-1400. (This is calculated by the app.)
For both, I gave honest and accurate information.
I recently heard that I should never eat below my BMR, why is that? I've felt find with the amount of calories I've been eating, and being female, I don't really mind losing muscle. I'm not interested in gaining any at the moment.
I have never particularly enjoyed working out and don't think I ever will, so I haven't been exercising very much outside of doing a lot of walking to and from class.
Should I be eating below my BMR? My metabolism feels... fine, I guess? I'm not very in-touch with my body on these things, usually if I feel tired, its because I didn't sleep enough. I mean, I'm losing weight, but all of a sudden I'm hearing that netting below your BMR is bad for you. I'm pretty confused.
