So I go to reset my RDI goal and it shows 1900 is my recommended target. I have seen other calculators that also have recommendations that high but I have been eating under that for a long while and haven't lost any weight. It is so confusing... and frustrating. So, do I set it under that and risk slowing my metabolism, or do I stay there and see nothing happen some more!

If you are not losing at a lower calorie intake than 1900 it stands to reason that 1900 calories is too high. I personally stick with 1200-1400 for weight loss and I exercise regularly. It has not messed with my metabolism. If I eat less than that I have no energy. If I eat more I lose at an excruciatingly slow rare. Hope that helps.

One way of calculating is to know your percentage of lean body mass vs. body fat. Then you eat to maintain the lean body mass. For example, if my lean body mass is 145lbs - then I adjust calories to maintain that weight - even though I may weight 30 pounds higher...we do not want to maintain the fat.
