How many calories should I be eating? Hello I am 21F trying to lose weight. Height: 5’8 CW: 200 GW: 175. I work out 6-7 days a week, five of those days taking a 1-hour cardio boxing class, and on Sunday I play soccer. I know I burn a lot of calories doing those things (500-700+ tracked by my Apple Watch), and I need to fuel my body properly.

But I have no idea how many calories I should be eating. I’ve tried 2100, 1600, and I am currently at 1400. (Total at the end of the day, accounting for whatever I burned working out). I have not lost 1 pound since starting my weight loss journey in February and in one way or another working out at least 5 days a week. My body has changed, and gotten more toned, but my mass is the exact same.

How many calories should I be eating? Plus deficit for weight loss? Why is my plateau at the beginning of my journey and has lasted 7 months? What role does my IUD play?

Any help is appreciated.
