I'm just curious...I want to lose 25 lbs of fat..I'm 5'3 and 140 pounds or so... why is 1500 calories too low for me? I posted this on another part of the site and was told to eat 1700 calories per day. Any advice?

General diet recommendation formulas that use the BW x 12 (cutting) would mean you should be eating 1,680 kcal/day to lose weight. IMO, 1500 is a little too low and I really don't see why you should eat that little when you can just up your cardio easily to offset the difference in the deficit, simultaneously keeping your metabolic rate higher.
I've still got a lot to learn.
