    I upped my calories from 1430 to 1530, plus eating earlier in the day, so now for the most part my hunger is curbed. Should I stick to 1530 for the next week?
    Says here do that for a week. Then add 100 for the next week. Keep doing that until your scale and measurments tell you that you're above maintenance.

    Update on this. I allowed myself 1600 calories/day, but had to cut back another day. Basically I'm listening to my fill line with a MAXIMUM of 1600 calories. I make sure I have the high fiber foods, so those calories would change if I stopped eating those healthier choices. Previously I was losing about 1.5 to 2 lbs per week. This last week, allowing 1600 calories but not eating when I was full, I lost 0.8. My true caloric intake this past week was 1591, 1447, 1374, 1024, 1128, 1572. The lows came afer I tried to eat the higher calories. 1572 was Good Friday supper, which was a splurge meal. I was actually disheartened to think my weight loss was balancing out at only 1600 calories, but I guess I'm still losing.
