I don't know how hard it is for everyone but for me saying under 900 calories a day is very difficult. Let me give you an example. If you go to Chick-fil-A, a large fry has 500 calories and a regular sandwich has 440 calories. Thats already 940 calories without a drink. If you add a medium lemonade, thats another 270 calories. So you end up with 1,210 calories for just one meal, and thats not even a lot of food. You can see how quickly those calories add up. When I used to go there, I would order a large fry (500 calories) and nuggets (260 calories for 8 pieces). See skip the buns to save calories and carbs. I would also get a diet lemonade, which has only 60 calories for a medium size. That would be 820 calories in total. Still not great, but a bit better. To get under 900 calories (for me at least), you have to do a lot of things like that.
Oh yeah i could easily get 1k calories in a meal without even trying. Especially with them fries is what gets you.
Have you put your numbers in for those BMR calculations? What do they say is your calories for maintenance?
