I'm 5'5.75 and weigh 147 last I checked. I used the second method on the stickies and came up with like 2,500 something or whatever it was. I'm just curious if the amount of cals I'm eating now (2,050) is negatively going to affect me cause I'm not sure if they are too low.

The purpose of the calculations are to give you a starting point. Real world results are what really matters. Monitor for a month or so and take an average to see what you are losing per week. Aim for a pound loss per week and you will be good. No way to know for sure without actually trying it out.
If you are truly worried that it is too low, then why did you go with a 20% deficit instead of the recommended 10%?

Bro it's not possible that you've been around this long and are this clueless. You are either an awful troll or this sport is too complex for you and you need to find a new hobby

He doesnt make threads, but really you've been around for 4.5 years! And you have yet to know if your calories are to low and if your dropping weight to fast. You should really know the basics of your body by now. Try the calories for a little while, see how much weight your dropping, see you energy and hunger levels are and go on. YOu calculated your TDEE of course its not accurate but see if it is by testing it.

Trolling your threads?
1. You deliberately refuse to use the search function
2. You make threads about "counting the calories from toothpaste when brushing your teeth" etc
3. You make constant threads that a) you've been around long enough and read enough threads to know the answer to; b) that have been answered so many times prior
Need I remind you that you were constantly red (a big sign of a troll) until a mod gave you a rep

I believe you. I don't think you're trolling.
My guess is that you're having a lot of difficulty understanding the content discussed in this forum and, more so, that you're also finding yourself chronically obsessing over nutrition.
Perhaps at this stage is pays to talk to a professional mental health worker and ask for help...real help. The kind that can make positive changes in your life.
Please consider my suggestion.

Naw I wasn't trolling on that. I'm just very obsessive.
Wonderpug, I am seeing someone currently. My next appointment is this week.
I do search threads at times but I like to get answers for myself.
I have no need to troll. I just have a tough time grabbing concepts at times and I'm very OCD and I like to be in control over EVERYTHING with this lifestyle.

Having a physcholigcal disorder definded as OCD is not maknig fitness making you sane.... Being OCD can wreck your life, including by all those thread that you make if you really mean what you type in those threads. We all have posted good posts, but your denying that you have a disorder, if so then let it be. Were just trying to help.. Good luck OP

What kind of question is this? It honestly may not of even came up. Not because I don't want to bring it up. It's because I have a more important issue with the OCD probably. Which I don't mind sharing at all. I have a tough time talking about my feelings because I doubt them.
I will probably try to work nutrition doubts in though.
