Weight Train at 1200 Calories

SkaterGirl704

Is it ok to eat just 1200 calories per day, and strength train for muscle tone 5x week.
I just want tone, not looking to get big! I have been losing massive weight 2 1/2 lbs per week.
Sometimes I eat under 1200 calories. I have a hard time eating. Like I said I just want tone.
I eat healthy, and know how to eat. I eat 90% clean and organic, I mostly cook at home.
I have stopped exercising for a month now, but I am dropping lbs by eating right, and less.
some insight would be good. Last time I did weights I swelled up ad gained weight, and was hungry
all the time. My friend tell me that I still look toned without flexing.

i don't eat back any calories, i make sure i get 1200-1400 and regardless of how active i am, i don't eat anymore, unless i'm hungry then i would obviously, but usually i'm not

How in the world are you able to only eat 12-1400 calories a day??? That's what I eat as a girl who's darn close to being a midget!

98lbs!!!

I think you need to eat some more, but however even if your toning up your weight is going to go up since Muscle is more then fat....


Good luck

quick question. Do you have legs? Then maybe you are ok.

Otherwise, no. Eat more.

Sorry, OP, I really don't have any advice for you.

I'm just here to try to understand why a physically active 29 year old man would intentionally eat 1200-1400 calories.

I think it is a bad idea.

In for the answer to this question too.... OP I am going to have to say I got nothing because I personally prefer to fuel my body for the demands of weight training and cardio but Best of Luck...

Strength training is good. It will make your bones stronger as you age. Advice for you is to find a trainer who can start you out correct in weight use, or read New Rules of Lifting for Women. :flowerforyou:
