Hey all. I'm 185.3 LBS 5'3M. I have lost 10 LBS since I started dating better but I just started CICO.
I downloaded myfitnesspal and it had recommended me to limit calories to 1500 a day to lose 2LBS a week. The last few days I have struggled to hit 1500 calories, especially factoring in my excercise (burn about 500 calories walking during this lockdown. I'm going 5 days out of the week). Anyways... here was my meal breakdown for yesterday:
Avocado toast with cream cheese - 315 cals
Creamer for coffee - 30 cals
Tysons grilled chicken with a chik fil a sauce packet - 350 cals
Birds eye steam fresh Rotini and veggies - 290 cals
Side of cut bell pepper - 10 cals
Half a serving of Kroger Brand Buffalo Chicken Popcorn - 85 cals (seriously though kroger brand popcorn is amazing and theres only about 680 calories per large bag, I have a little bit to snack on every day.)
So that brings me to 1080 calories.... and you have to remember I burned 500 calories by walking. Also I make sure to drink 2L of water daily.
My questions are - is this healthy? I know I'll lose more weight doing this but I'm concerned about my health.
Next, If I need to eat more, then what should I eat? I was considering buying little debbie snacks and forcing myself to eat about 300 calories a day but I really dont like the idea of turning to sweets again...
