For a long time I've know my bmr is lower than average - I think from having a high fat mass /less muscle and a low body temperature (side effect of my hashimotos thyroiditis) because most apps/calculators will say for my body mass and height I should eat 1900-2300 calories but even on 1900 I gain weight.
So yesterday I did a very detailed online calculator where you input all your body measurements like wrist and thighs and even neck! Came out with a body fat % of 46 for me (what I expected) and using that plus my age and weight etc, my BMR is actually 1650. Which explains why carefully sticking to 1700-1900 cals I still gain weight. I am now going to aim for +1350 a day and see how that goes.
On a side note just calorie counting at 17-1900 for the last 4 weeks (something new I was trying) - not doing keto. Has failed miserably and I'm up almost 6 kgs so back to low carb life. Goodbye December, you were fun!
