A tough weight loss question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: I am 22 year old male 5.8" tall and I currently weigh 195 lbs. I am trying to get down to about 165 lbs in the next 6-7 months. I am doing the follow right now, but not sure if I am doing it correctly to ensure weight loss - I just need some re-assurance- 1) I have cut out all junk foods and am eating only healthy foods such as Whole grain bread, brown rice, Lean chicken/beef, LOTS of Fruits and Vegetables and a little bit of milk 2) I am eating 1500 calories per day (My BMR is 2000)- I am using caloriecounter.com to keep track of what I am eating. 3) I am doing Calisthetics and Cardio 5 days a week burning around 500-600 calories a day- according to the math I should be in a 1000-1100 daily deficit with both excercise and food -is this normal and healthy way to lose weight? The part which really concerns me sometimes is my accuracy of reporting the food on caloriecounter and sometimes I think its either too much or too little in calories, but i’m assuming thats just my misconception/fear of being wrong. If anyone can give me some advice or reassurance on this matter I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Answer: This sounds absolutely healthy! And realistic! Good for you!! You’ll probably lose that much weight in 5 months, tops, with this plan!!!
