How tall are you and how much you currently weight?

With 2200+ calories currently I'd gain weight, however, a month ago my weight would have remain the same. Nothing is written in stones. Our metabolism changes. I constantly tweak my macros according to where I am and what my goals are.

Thanks for all the lovely welcomes! Thandie how many cals should I be consuming to lose body fat? I am 159cm & 63kgs. I carry alot weight in my legs & arms.

I plugged in the macros Thandie kindly supplied for me into Fitday and using their weightgoal tracker it advised me to consume 1564 cals to get to my target weight of 120 pounds (I'm only 159cms), does this sound about right? I do so much reading and still manage to confuse myself, I want to get the maths perfect. I've NEVER been able to lose weight on a restrive cal program but i'm working on the macros this time and hoping it will finally help me lower BF% and help control my PCOS.

I have fixed a problem and got rid of some posts. This is the first problem we have had on the woman forum in 6 months. I am going to speak with every one and I hope everyone comes to understanding. Also please do not bring it back up. Thank you

ooh sorry hope i didn't cause a problem? All the advice has been great someone mentioned that weight in pounds x 10 should be he cals to intake if you are trying to lose BF but it seems to have been removed, for me that would be 1400 cals, does this sound correct & is this regardless of exercise? thanks

Fitday is a great help, thanks so much for the rec I have programmed custom nutrition goals at 1400 cals my diet is currently looking like this:

am large + egg white + stevia + 40 g organic oats + scoop sustained protein release whey + tbs flaxseed oil + organic long black coffee

am protein shake

carrot + hommus

tuna + greens + egg whites + salsa

protein porridge again w/ tsp almond butter

3 egg whites + mixed vegetables + salsa + tsp soy mayonaise (i also alternate egg whites with org chicken breast)

LOTS OF WATER

Is this looking better?
I'm hoping to see some sort of results

thank you ladies

without knowing your lbm, I'd say it's probably right in the sweet spot given your reported activity level.
