So am I doing this right ?

Question

I just started today I wanna lose weight and I currently weight 186
My height is 5’2 I downloaded my fitness pal but I’m not sure if I’m doing this right. Am I consuming a lot of calories for breakfast? Any tips for beginners 😭😭 should I eat less ? Or is this okay

Answer

I’m going to kindly suggest you reach out to a dietitian/nutritionist and not random strangers on the Internet.

Answer

You’re under the calorie recommendation so idk why you think you’re overeating . Just eat healthy do not consume yourself with calories it’s unhealthy .

Answer

1,390 calories is not enough calories for an adult. That’s a toddler’s calorie requirement. MyFitnessPal starves people. No nutritionist recommends it.

Answer

Hi babe! Message me if you want tips. I am a Nutrionist. This is the wrong room but I’m glad to help you

Answer

It depends on what you have for lunch and dinner. At the end of the day your total calories are what count. If you're sedentary and eating that many calories per meal, it might cause weight gain but if you're active that seems like the perfect calories per meal, provided that they are nutrient rich foods. But I'm not a dietician or nutritionist. I'm just going off what would be too much for me. So far you have a good hang of it, it would be bad if those calories were just eggs and bacon but it's healthy calories and has balance.

Answer

Okay so I’ve done so much research on weight loss throughout the years. I know exactly how to lose weight, I just don’t do it because I really enjoy food and dislike exercise. Back when I was skinny I used my fitness pal, and was successful. Pretty much what matters is that you meet your calorie goal for the day. So looking at that, you only have a little over 400 calories for your lunch and dinner. Which is possible if you stick to portion sizes and go with lean proteins and veggies. I always made breakfast my smallest meal, even though it should be the biggest meal you have all day, because you burn calories throughout the day. If you eat a big meal in the evening, for me at least, it’s unlikely that I’m going to go exercise after and all those calories just sit there. It is important to try to incorporate exercise if you really want to lose weight. Walking is good, running is good, but if you can try to include some strength training as well.

Answer

It looks like you're using the app right. If breakfast is one of your main meals then it seems okay. 
I've always found intermittent fasting and cutting sugar is better for me than calorie counting. But I've never been one for a big breakfast.
