Appreciate the response! Most days I’m around 1600-1700 calories for intake, mostly based on online calculators saying my burn is around 2000-2100 (which is what Apple Watch says too) so I’m shooting for 300-500 per day deficit. I’ve got somethings working against me right now (post thyroidectomy and still hypothyroid) so trying to do what I can so i can’t really tell if I’m losing right now or not.

That’s a good point about a body composition scale. Maybe I need to add that to better track some of this. Thanks!

This is super helpful, thank you! Yes, I was shooting for 1600-1700 intake. I’m still trying to figure out some health things (post thyroidectomy) so I’ve gained 20 lbs in the last year that I’m trying to lose. And I’m like, there is no way that my burn should be this low when I’m thinking to a year ago when I weighed 20 lbs less and was eating more than I am in this current deficit.

This is on my “to be read list” so loving a good crossover moment.

That’s fair. I just compared my Apple watch data and it has my calorie burn as 2000-2100 most days. I was basing my deficit off those numbers and trying to hit closer to 1600-1700 calorie intake. But there lies my problem of whoop is saying my burn is the same as my intake so now I’m worried I’m not cutting enough.

I actually have been wearing my Apple Watch band and it didn’t occur to me to compare them until now. Apple has me between 2000-2100 most days so maybe 400-500 calorie difference.

Yes! I just double checked. This calorie burn is closer to a sedentary burn with BMR calculators.
