was looking at a different RDI calculator and if I want to lose 2 pounds a week I should be eating only 728 calories. If I want to lose 1 pound it is 1228. Wow is all I can say!!!! That would be salad for lunch and salad for dinner and lots of protein! Protein is my biggest issue so I will have to rethink some of this new information.
website I went to is http://www.calculator.net
Well on a side note I will be going to the movies and I am already over my calories any way that I look at it. lol oh well.

It sounds like you're short like me =) I have to tweak my bmr on FS to line up with (in my opinion) more accurate calculations. From my research I don't feel dropping down to an average regular daily intake below 1000 calories is healthy. Which is why I'm sticking to a goal of 1lb a week (well my actual goal is .8lbs a week, but toballow leeway for some days going over I put my goal intake a little lower). That will still be dropping calories to 1000 as I get to the last stretch of weight loss befor going to a 1400-1500 maintenance level once I'm at my goal weight. It's a confusing world out there when you start looking into rdi and bmr

Weight loss isn't an exact science and there is more to it than just calories in calories burned. Factors like genetics, hormones, types of foods we eat, how much water we drink and many other factors matter in weight loss. Too much sodium one day can make the scale go up. Sore muscles from exercise, hormones (time of month), etc. all effect the scale. So you may eat 1200 calories a day and lose 3 pounds the fist week. You may gain 1 pound the next and lose 3 more the next week. Focus on lean protein, lean dairy, fruits and veggies. Protein and high fiber foods help us lose fat better than any other food groups. Your body is made up of 60% water so the scale can fluctuate all day long. Google "why the scale lies" for insight in to water weight fluctuations. If you weigh daily, it's important to understand why the scale will go up even when you do everything right.
