By using some of the suggestions in the article, you will be able to start losing weight again. If you have anymore questions, please let us know.

Ellonda, I would just aim for 1600 straight then. Giving yourself a higher calorie deficit may sound fun and all, but it can also lead to metabolic damage. I think the 1600 range is fine for you and you can use this range for quite some time as you lose weight. Though, if you have been eating very low calorie for a while, I suggest working your way up to this calorie range over a 2 week or so period.

I decided to go right between the 20 and 25% range deficit at 1550 (instead of 1514 or 1614) I’m just weird and like whole numbers!

You’re very welcome! I never suggest weighing daily, just because water weight can fluctuate a couple of pounds (up or down) per day. If you weigh every week or every 2 weeks, you get a much clearer idea of how much you are losing 🙂

Thank you SO much. I will definitely try this and stay away from the scale. It’s had because i usually weight myself DAILY.

Yeah sure. If I were you, I’d increase the calories you’re eating. 50% deficit will slow your metabolism down greatly, and will slow weight loss down, too. If you’ve been eating like this for a while (previously to keto included) then you can expect a small bit of weight gain if you go by the macros I got. Though, I suggest eating to these macros (track daily) and don’t weigh yourself for 2 weeks. Give it a go and see what happens 🙂

1614 kcal Daily Calorie Intake
20 g Net Carbs (5%, 80 kcal)
75 g Protein (19%, 300 kcal)
137 g Fat (76%, 1234 kcal)

Thanks!!!! I just used your KETO calc and it says a 25% deficit is 1513.

I weight 255 (not for long!) and my boday fat is about 51% (but this is an estimate, also used from a calculator. I’m 5’5″ and a 3-y/o female. I don’t have a fat measurement tool.

Hey and welcome! That large of a deficit may just be too much and it’s putting strain on your metabolism. What is your current weight and bodyfat %? If you give me those, I can give you some macros to follow along with so maybe you can have a bit more luck with your weight loss.

Here are my Macros: 70% fat (86g), 25% protein 69g), and 5% carbs (14g). I shoot for 1,000 to 1,100 calories per day and that gives me about a 1,152 calorie deficit.
