    Diet Plan using MFP

    I'm 5'8 (or 9, I never know), 165lbs and in my late 20s.
    I'm trying to get down to 150lbs by the end of June - its that stubborn kind of weight that never likes to budge.
    TDEE = 2123 (light exercise) or 1850 (limited to no exercise)

    My plan:
    Week 1: set goal Kcal in MFP to 1200 (low, I know) but run every day using HRM to get Kcal and then eat the Kcal gained through running - at this point in time I'm using about 250Kcal while running but I imagine this will increase as I increase my pace and distance - so, actually eat 1450 Kcal

    Week 2: raise goal Kcal in MFP to 1300 and (weather allowing) do the same with running as previous week.

    Week 3: raise goal Kcal in MFP to 1400 and do the same with running as previous week.

    Maintain 1400 for a while and see how I get on.

    When I am happy with my weight loss I will slowly raise the calorie intake by 100 each week until I hit maintenance.


    The reason I'm dropping the intake so low in the first week is to help reduce my appetite and get me out of the habit of constantly nibbling. I tend to eat well - no junk and the like - but I also eat a lot. I'm a nibbler and eat to pass the time and have no sense of when I'm full.


    I'm never really sure about diets and calorie counting - I'd appreciate any feedback people might have. Ideally I'd go to a nutritionist, fitness instructor, weight watchers or something like that but finances are super tight!
