• What's a sensible calorie deficit? I only had about 1200cal yesterday and rough BMR for me is 1600. I know that's too low (particularly given that walked for about 1.5 hours and did a 20min core workout) and I'm feeling it a bit today but I also felt VERY alert and clear-headed for the whole day yesterday, which was nice.
    Really keen to do things the right way but I'm also insanely stubborn/competitive with myself, so yesterday felt a bit like 'winning'.

  • What's a sensible calorie deficit?

    0.5kg/week is often quoted as a "sensible" rate of loss. Working back from this:-

    1 lb (454g) of fat is 3500 kcal.

    3500 kcal / 454 * 500 =~ 3854 kcal

    3854 kcal / 7 days =~ 550kcal /day

  • 500 cal deficit as a baseline but you’ll need to adjust as you go.
