Hello everyone. I’ve been losing weight for two years, and am 80 lbs down, looking to lose around 30 more. However, I just started a sport (track) and am exercising every weekday for 2-2.5 hours. I am wondering how I can adjust my calorie intake? According to my FitBit I take 10,000 steps minimum on the days I workout. I have been using the weekends as rest days, but that should be changing soon with me working out/having meets on Saturdays.
I eat between 1600-1700 and I’m wondering if with the amount of exercise I should be eating more or less than this in order to still lose weight. I have seen that teenage female athletes should eat between 2000-2400 but I assume that is for those who are not looking to lose weight. I am aiming for a 1.5 lb lose a week (was hoping for 2 lbs but I would have to be in a deficit that I would not be able to upkeep).
Along with calories, I was also wondering what I should be eating after practice. As soon as I am finished I am so tired but also ravenous. I still end up within 1700 calories but I want to know what I should eat to calm my stomach.
A lot of the calorie calculators say my TDEE is anywhere from 2700-3300 but this seems insanely high. Thank you for your help!
For reference: 15, Female, 5’6”, around 168 lbs, it said 178 on the scale today but I believe this is due to sodium/water retention, and my body adjusting to the amount of exercise (I was 168 less than a week ago).
