BMI and calories

[ANewMe2022]

On the NHS BMI calculator I should be having between 1782-2291 calories each day. However, My Fitness Pal gives me 1490, which I have been sticking to and have been feeling a little peckish some days. Which one should I believe? I don't want to eat too few calories as I am aware that my body will cling on to the weight if I do. I hope someone can clear this up for me - Hidden are you there?!!!...xx

Check your mfp settings (goals) for weekly weight loss. It sounds like this is factored in to your calorie target.

Hi dickymint678 I've been into MFP goals - never ventured there before - and changed my activity level to light (405 mins exercise this week) as opposed to non-existent like it was before, and it has indeed changed my calorie allowance. Many thanks for the reply...xx
