I’ve been working out at home since last fall. But, I recently joined the gym, went vegetarian, cut out soda, and started calorie counting. I use an app called “Lose It!”. I’m 5’10” around 190-200 lbs. With the app you set your goal weight and it gives you a calorie budget for every day. Mine is 1,700 calories. I’ve been consuming about 1,500 calories and burning around 800 calories daily leaving me at a nice 900-ish calories under budget. I take hydroxycut daily and wear a waist trainer while I’m working out at the gym. Basically, I’m wondering if my diet/exercise/everything is healthy for myself and if what I'm doing will impact my weight. I have done a bunch of research regarding weight loss and building muscle, and also with diet. But regarding calories I’ve read constant debates on what is healthy and what is not. Hence why I am asking for myself with specifics. Thank you for your help!
