OKAY EVERYONE. I eat ONLY fruits veggies lean meats and tree based foods and every other day I eat carbs less than 100mg. I do not eat out. I count calories. I ordered a food scale and it's on it's way. I get full by eating those foods and by the end of the day I still have calories left because I don't feel like eating. I hope this helps everyone with their assumptions. I'm 5'2. My current weight is 268lbs. My goal weight is 200 (Until I want to start toning my body) And I'm 23.

I am the same height as you and 2 years younger. I am sedentary. I MAINTAIN my weight of 135lbs on 1600 calories per day.

Your are netting under 1200 some days and this is undereating, beside aiming for 1200 is probably way too low for someone with your stats.

Why do you cut carbs to only every other day?

Not a true statement. Not at all.

Actually is is true for the vast majority of people and someone with as much weight as the OP definitely falls in that category.
