I'm a 6' male, 45 years old very over weight and would say sedentary. Is 1158 calories daily what I should be aiming for?
In 5 weeks I have lost 5" off my belt line, but am worried after doing some reading about that if I don't have enough cals I might be only losing muscle and not fat.
Please any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
