So I’ve been researching a lot. Most sites says that a male should not eat over 1500 calories to lose weight. ( I was eating 1200 before the research and wasn’t losing which is why I started). Is it true if I up my calories just that little bit I’ll start losing? It doesn’t make since to me

I walk/jog on treadmill for about 30mins everyday, do 50 push ups a day and I work in a restaurant so I’m never sitting still. I’m not really sure how to calculate it but I assumed with 1200 calories I should lose weight. I’m kinda new to the weight loss thing but I just kinda take what I read and roll with it

SUPPLEMENTS
Remember one thing, supplements are only that; they supplement something and are never meant to be replacements. A multivitamin will not replace fruits and vegetables, a fat burner will not replace a caloric deficit, and a meal replacement is not meant to be your only source of calories.
This is a brief run down of the 'basics', for further breakdowns of specific ingredients (like Yohimbe, Forskolin, Glycerol, ect) more research on your part would be needed.

Thank you all for the advice it’s cleared up a few things for me. One last question tho. So I’m thinking of picking up the push day and leg day from the routine above should I do the every other day ( like Monday Wednesday Friday push then tues thurs sat leg)? How often should I do this so I don’t tire myself out I guess is the question
