I've been using MFP and to lose 2lbs a week it gave me a caloric goal of 1780.
I messed with it last night and to lose 1 1/2lbs a week it gave me a goal of 2030.
I'm really not sure how much i should be eating, i've been doing the 1780 for almost two weeks(haven't lost a thing-sometimes i'm slightly over my goal.. sometimes under) but after reading through some stuff last night i feel like maybe that's too low for me..idunno..
My stats I'm 5'9..right now i'm at 275 which i think is from TOM creeping through. I workout every other day now..have been consistent with this for about 16 days with a little extra thrown in between days at times. I push myself pretty hard when i workout..i do weights and cardio. Usually around 45/50minutes of cardio. Sometimes 35 at the least really pushing it..then the rest of the time i do different weight training either on the machines or free weights.
So any help would be appreciated
