Yeah, have to be honest, I'm a bit confused by this too! I just work it out on a similar site, and eat what they recommend. Surely, your BMR is what you need to survive every day, not what you should be eating to lose weight.....you take your 500 cals off your BMR/Survival figure don't you? Therefore Jools' recommended calorie intake to lose weight is the 1182 figure....is this right? Very confused :sigh: lol
If this is the case, this is within your current calorie intake. I am the same, been stalemate for a couple of weeks and wondering whether I should be reducing or increasing. In fact, I have been way under my figure of 1182 (or something like that, can't remember now that Food Focus has gone!) for quite a few days....
By the way, welcome Jools!! Hope you enjoy your time with us

EDIT: Just calc'd mine. 1374. Also, just found this site
https://www.purelifestyle.co.uk/Calculators.aspx?idx=3 and tried the recommended calories calculator, it gave me 1883. Therefore, I should be consuming around 1383 cals per day....?? This should enable me to lose 1lb per week, what if I want to lose 2lb per week?! Sorry, am trying to get my head around this rather than just going with a figure I'm given online!!
