Metablolism and Not eating enough calories
I have been logging what I eat into my food database and most days it is good. I did receive a message that said I did not consume enough calories which can send my body into starvation mode and slow down my metabolism. I was 200 calories away from what I was suppose to eat. Anyhow, this is my question. Am I suppose to…
