Yes, thanks.

I’m trying to keep my daily intake under 1300 and burn 500 on my Apple Watch.

Have you found out what your basal rate is?
1300 is low calorie count. 1200 is like the very very low end for woman for healthy survival. 1300 is pretty dam close to that very low end and then burning 500 puts you at a daily net of 800. That is risky. Has your advised this?

Not trying to be a jerk, but please do more research and/or get professional guidance.

You are not coming off as a jerk and I appreciate the advice. I’m going by my LoseIt calorie goal. If I can eat more, I would be thrilled to eat more!

I’m trying to make sense of how my Apple Watch calorie move goal fits into my weight loss goal of 1 pound a week. My Lose It! calorie budget does adjust and credit back calories, if that makes sense.

I would change the LoseIt option of adding back calories. Once I turned that off, I started to lose weight. I also set it to allow more calories on weekends, because as a family we tend to eat foods for brunch or lunch that I don’t eat on my own during the week.

Do you know where that option is because I went in and didn’t see it. I also use the free version. Is that something I have to sign up for to remove that future.

Most of the advice you are getting here is over complicating things. What you need to do is obtain an estimate of your maintenance calories and then subtract about 20% to get yourself into a meaningful but sustainable deficit. To figure out the maintenance look at the Macros inc calculator or ripped body calculator. I find the latter more accurate for active individuals, but either is fine as a first estimate. Once you have figured out your calories, see how your weight adjusts. If it goes down you are on track. If it does not move or goes up you need to decrease calories further. If you can get a DEXA to see what exactly is going on, because sometimes fat loss might not show up on the scale immediately due to water retention.

You are confusing BMR (what you burn if you slept all day) with TDEE (total calorie burn in a day including BMR plus activity).

Unless you are doing a LOT of exercise like an pro-athlete, you should not be adding calories back in based on what your watch tell you you burned. Keep in mind that even if you sat on the couch for an hour you would still burn calories and calorie burn tracking is very inaccurate.

If your goal is to lose 1 lb a week then do this- track calories consumed and weigh yourself daily. At the end of the month see how much weight you lost. Keep in mind weight fluctuated daily so use averages and changes of time. If you lost more than 1 lbs a week then eat a little more to slow the rate down. If you lose less than 1 lb a week then slightly reduce calories. Re-evaluate again the next month.

I was heavy and a amazed at how much more physical volume food I consume now on a daily basis than I did before I started monitoring/working out/being healthier. On a calorie intake to body weight ratio it really isn’t a dramatic difference than before. Granted what I consume is better for me, but just he amount of burn is amazing.

Plus every piece of data I have ever seen says, 1200 is long term survival minimum for woman.

You have to actually hit the goal and control your calorie intake. Burning 500 more calories a day does nothing if you
reward yourself after a workout

I have a new apple watch and I am trying to understand how I should set it if I want to burn 500 calories a day. I would like to lose 1 lb a week so roughly 3500 calories a week/7 for my 500 goal per day. Is it as easy as setting the move goal to 500? Or do I need to factor in other things? I am also starting to track my food with Loseit.
