1772 kcal today, have to really cut down tomorrow

[happyhealthyjane]

did plan to have soup, but got home and too tired, just shared a pizza with my son, no one to blame but my own lack of will power. tomorrow is the last day before Wednesday, and I have 2 meals eating out! my plan is to have fruit for breakie, little or no carbohydrate for lunch and dinner

It makes sense to make some sort of preparation for eating out days. Good luck with it all.

Just out of interest, what is your NHS BMI calorie range?

[happyhealthyjane in reply to Tiggerr]

Hi Tiggerr, do you mean my BMI or calories allowance? I used to go by NHS 1400 kcal daily, it did work for the first two 12 weeks. I'm within the healthy range of BMI, but definitely on the heavier side. About why I want to lose more weight, I explained in details in my previous posts.

I'm glad that you're in the healthy range, huge congratulations.

The 1400 cals mentioned by the NHS is a generic value for women. I was wondering about the range that the NHS BMI calculator provides that is specifically tailored for each individual that runs it.

[happyhealthyjane in reply to Tiggerr]

if I want to lose weight, my daily allowance my based on currant bmi is about 1325. For maintenance, I can have more than 1400kcal (can't remember the exact figure). I set my daily target as 1330, coz it's easier to remember. I tried 1200 kcal (myfitnesspal calculation based on target and currant bmi), but didn't work, very hard for me to stick to 1200 kcal, 1330 kcal is more achievable for me.
