So I've been on WW for a while but I wanna try calorie counting, I've tried it before but didn't stick to it, didn't know how many calories etc. I read that for my weight I should start at 1500 calories a day. While on WW I get 23 points a day, each point is roughly 50 cals so that means I was eating about 1150 cals a day, and I found I wasn't satisfied and it would lead to me bingeing. But I;m afraid that if I up my cals to 1500 I will gain or won't lose.

your body takes some time to get used to it. Ive tried ww and i personally like cc better. I just upped my cals and gained a pound but your body takes some time to get used to it. you may gain at first maybe a pound or 2 but within a few weeks youll start losing and wont binge.

A WW point is worth anywhere from 20 - 90 calories, plus they build in an extra 250 calories for zero point foods and veggies. So your 23 points a day probably equaled more than 1150 calories. If you're curious, enter one of your WW days into a calorie counting program and see how many calories you were actually eating.

I think 1500 is a good place for you to start. Give it a few weeks and then tweak if necessary.

I agree with Meg, 1500 is a good place to start and good luck!

Thanks everyone, I'm going to start at 1500 and see how it goes, I'm not going to weigh for two weeks though just in case I do gain a lb or two at first then I won't get discouraged.
