Weight-Loss

Hi all,

So I know there are posts about this, but that's precisely why I'm confused. I've read so many conflicting things.

So according to the an online TDEE calculator, my BMR is 1,376 and my TDEE is 1,651.

If I want to lose 1 lb per week, I need to subtract 500, so let's say 1,151 calories. But that's below my BMR? Is that Ok? Also ideally I do want to lose weight as fast as possible and safe, so highest recommended is 2lb per week. That means -1000 calories, so eat 651 calories per week?

But then what about starvation mode?

I can manage that number because I love eating shirataki noodles (filling, 0 calories) and soups with veggies too, but I'm afraid that my calorie intake would stop me from losing weight.

I'm pretty confused at this stuff. Can someone help me find the optimal but fastest calorie count thats not harmful?

Some more stats:
Asian
5'2"
158lb
Female
22yo
Guessing visually ~35%body fat

Also 45 min brisk walking everyday.
 
Starvation mode is a myth but it is still not a good idea to drop too low with calories otherwise you will not be able to consume all of the required nutrients you need. very low calorie diets should have medical supervision.

Optimal weight loss while staying healthy involves more than just a calorie limit.
