So I calculated my TDEE when I found this forum and it came to about 3000ish cal a day to maintain (I weighed 176kg). I joined MyFitnessPal and it calculated my calories to lose weight at about 2630 which seems about right for a 500 cal deficit. I’ve probably been eating around 2100 on average and 2300 on workout days.
But today my husband and my dietician said if she were to calculate my daily energy needs she would use my height and the top healthy weight range for that height rather than my actual current weight.
Am I doing this wrong?
Also how accurate are the macro needs In MyFitnessPal? It’s always telling me to eat more protein, but again the dietician said that should be based on goal weight rather than actual weight and it shouldn’t be a problem that I only eat half what it currently recommends.
She also seemed to think we should be more focused on cutting fats than sugar. Though we’ve done a good job of that already and that cutting stuff with refined sugar out wouldn’t help our blood sugar numbers... but it already has this last week? Dropping sugary stuff for healthy fats (avo, cashews, lean meat) is really the only change we’ve made.
The GP told us that cutting sugar filled sauces and the like would do wonders, but the dietician rolled her eyes at that and told us to check out the Australian heart foundation website.
Feeling a little frustrated and discouraged. Advice appreciated!
