at least 1800 I should think - I didn't log but added things like guacamole, nuts, olives. The last few days I also had some refined flour products which I usually avoided - e.g. I had bagel yesterday for the first time in about a year.
what's wrong with this logic - BMR/RMR calculators give me about 1500 BMR/RMR - using light activity multiplierj 1.375 = 2062 - call it 2100.
500 deficit = 1600, 1000 deficit = 1100.
But I know 1100 a day was resulting in about 0.6 lb/week not 2 lb/week. So this was about a 300/day deficit in practice.
so if returning to 1100 is too low for all you knowing ones to be comfortable with - what's a better plan? Conceptually, I get eat more & exercise more to get the same deficit on more food - but practically - I'm stumped given my actuals.
