BMR or basal metabolic rate is the number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest. For me this comes up to 1481 calories
I've also come across so many tools that let you calculate the number of calories to eat if you want to "lose x pounds in y weeks". For me this amounts to 1200 calories.
My question is:
What are the good or bad effects of eating below BMR?
(I could eat one extra avocado in the amount of calories that my BMR indicates.)
Can eating below my BMR be the reason I'm not losing weight?
Any insight into this from personal experience is appreciated!
Thanks!
