Will this help me lose weight?

[Anonymous]

So every calorie calculator I’ve imputed my info in tells me something different. I’m just asking here to see if anyone else has an opinion…

I’m a 5’4” female, 142lb, workout 3-5 times a week (300-500cal burned at each workout.) plus where I work im always on my feet, and I eat about 1500-1650 calories a day.

do you think I’m eating too little or to much to be able to lose at least 1lb a week?

There are many factors that contribute to weight loss, and calorie intake is just one of them. It's important to note that everyone's body is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. That being said, here are some things to consider:

Assuming that you are accurately tracking your calorie intake and expenditure, you may want to try gradually reducing your daily calorie intake by 100-200 calories per day, or increasing your exercise routine. This can help create a calorie deficit that may lead to weight loss. However, it's important to make sure that you are still getting enough nutrients and fuel for your body to function properly.

It's also worth considering factors such as stress levels, sleep quality, and hormonal changes, as these can all impact weight loss. If you are under a lot of stress, not getting enough sleep, or experiencing changes in your menstrual cycle, for example, this may affect your weight loss efforts.

Ultimately, it's important to focus on making sustainable lifestyle changes rather than just trying to lose weight quickly. This can include eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and managing stress levels. Consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian may also be helpful in creating a personalized plan for reaching your weight loss goals.

At 142 you're not fat. Maybe a couple of pounds over, but exercise and a sensible healthy diet should keep that in control. You need at least 2000 cal per day and make sure there's protein and lots of fruit and vegetables (not starchy ones). At least 8 cups of water a day.

You should maybe go to a doctor and work out a plan for you, it's difficult to know what you need a day, what kind of food you can eat and what you shouldn't eat, if all the other stuff in your food is good for you or not. A doctor can help you to work out something healthy :)
