[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your doctor is not going to care what you think your body fat percentage is. For 1) it’s probably wrong. Your doctor is going to look at your labs and bone scans and make their recommendations based on that. As long as you aren’t losing weight, are eating enough calories and protein, are lifting weights, and not trying to eat very low carb in efforts to “cut” I think you are doing great. [/quote] Does 1500 sound like enough calories? It doesn't to me.[/quote] It's not! I put in OP's age, height, activity levels etc into a Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) tracker. It measures how many calories you burn, and what is needed to maintain, lose, or gain weight. OP would maintain her weight with a 1950 calorie daily diet, and is actually setting herself up for slow weight loss eating this little. This is a one-way ticket to sarcopenia and a trip to the hospital during flu season. OP, add a whole avocado or two to your diet daily. Each one is around 250 calories. I think your energy levels would skyrocket if you experiment with adding more high-quality calories. [/quote]
