I just recalculated my TDEE and it says that I should be eating around 1100 kcal/day in order to lose weight. Info: female, 26, 5'4", 137 pounds. I put my lifestyle as 'sedentary' as that's what the consensus on Reddit seems to be that I should put as my work has me seated most of the day and I only go to the gym 4 times a week for ~45 minutes of weights/weight machines and then 5-10 miles on the stationary bike..so fairly light exercise, not getting ripped over here haha. With this info, the TDEE calc indicated that I should only be eating 1100 kcal/day which isn't that far off from 1200/day, but every time someone on here mentions going under 1200 the general attitude seems to be 'that's incredibly unhealthy, don't do that'. How are those of us more petite/sedentary folks supposed to lose weight if we can't go under our TDEE? Kind of freaking out here because I'm worried I've been eating at maintenance (even though I thought maintenance was way higher for me).
