So I did the calculator, that TDEE calculator says like 1700 approx. calories. I thought I should eat only like 1200 anyway on a standard diet. Do I eat 1700 on nonfast days and cut that in 1/2? I am not sedatary but don’t have a lot of time to exercise maybe once a week for real. Is this for me? I need to drop about 30 pounds and that is not making me the best ideal weight, just barely into the healthy range.

Hi and welcome:

The way it works is you eat your TDEE or less on your non-diet days and 500 calories or less on your two diet days each week.

Here are some tips for those just starting 5:2: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/warnings-to-newbies/

Good Luck!
