Hello everyone 🙂

Im on the first day of 5:2 and its my first fast day 🙂 I have to say its not been as bad as I thought 🙂

I have a question regarding calories on a normal day. I have used the calculator and it gives my BMR as 1899 and TDEE 2611. Am I right in thinking that my calorie allowance for normal days is the BMR figure of 1899?

Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome:

The standard is to eat your TDEE or less on your non diet days. Here is some information on TDEE: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/tdee-for-the-curious-or-why-dont-i-lose-weight-faster/

And here are some tips for newbies: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/warnings-to-newbies/

Just make sure that you have at least 500 calories on the days that you fast and at least 1500 on the other days.

Not “at least” 500 kcal on a fasting day – “maximum 500 kcal” is correct for fasting. You can go without intake (other than water) for a day and do no harm.
