How many calories per day if your BIM is less than 25

[Morvarid]

Hi, I’m new here and I want to use the NHS 12 weeks plan. My BIM is 24.1 so less than 25 but I want to control my weight now. Can anyone advise if 1400 calories intake per day will help loosing weight with less than 25 BIM?

Won’t work with a BMI of less than 25 unfortunately as classed as ‘healthy’. Shame they don ‘t do a personalised calorie allowance for maintenance of healthy weight.

If you put in a 'fake' weight that just takes you over the 25 it will give you a range which you can adjust accordingly. Unless you're significantly below 25 you won't really need to adjust it at all.

If you log into the myfitnesspal website/app that should be able to give you a figure. You can set your goal weight or you can set it as loss/maintain/gain and it will give you a figure. Its great you have a healthy bmi and this forum is amazing for support xx

Thank you for the support. I’m a bit lower than 25 therefore I would like to keep it before it goes up. I will use the app. Thanks
