[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 5’6”, on 1200/day + moderate exercise daily to lose 1 lb per week 
1500/days sound a lot unless you are very actibe[/quote]

Yes, for OP's size, she needs to eat 1000 cal/day to lose weight.[/quote]
This is a deeply ridiculous comment that reflects a lot of ignorance about energy balance and the science of losing weight. OP will lose weight if she’s in a calorie deficit.  The fact is - demonstrates repeatedly with academic studies - that people usually don’t know within 40% how many calories they are consuming unless they eat 100% pre-packaged, portion controlled, minimally processed food and never eat any food or drinks out ever.

Also, OP’s calorie needs will be driven not just by height and weight but by her body fat %, how her food is prepared (humans can get fewer calories from some foods raw  than cooked), her gut bacteria, her non-exercise activity thermogenisis, and her activity level.  TDEE for one 5’6” woman can easily be double TDEE for another, and my TDEE can vary 75% depending on what I’m doing. [/quote]
