Too many calories!!!

[Wendy_trumpet]

Does anyone else find that when eating healthily and making good choices or swaps...that they struggle to eat the number of calories suggested by the BMI calculator? Mine suggests I should have between 1800 and 2300 a day... think I've just hit 1450 this evening! And I'm certainly not starving or hungry either... thoughts?

Hi Wendy,

If you feel fine, & you're the right size, forget the calorie counting!

I stick to a clean food diet, & count nutrients.

I really wish. I am only 5'2" and work from home. My recommended calories per day is around 1250. Anything more an then I put it on. It's really not many calories when you think about it so I have to think about meals a lot - in fact, it takes over my life

I've been in that position before when I was loosing weight a few years ago... I found that it ended up meaning a plate of food would be 2/3rds veg or salad and then a 3rd of proteins and meats... as veg tends to have less calories. Bur is still filling...just a thought xx

Yep - that's about it. I will look like a vegetable one of these days.. sure I am changing into a shade of green homemade soup for dinner and I am treating myself to a small olive ciabatta roll - whoop! x
