How many calories to eat

dachinababe

hey, I am a little confused here about how many calories to eat to lose 2 pounds every week for me. I am 18 years old, and i exericise almost everyday for 90 miuntes at least. I been recoverying from a surgery, so my calorie intake for the past few month have been really really low ( at most 700) . Now I feel all better, I really want to lose these stuborn fat around my stomach, thigh and arm. but if i increase my calories intake to 1200 like it recommended would I gain weight and fat in exchange because I have been eating so less calories. I really have problem eating more than 1000 calories without feeling sick. so Should I increase my calorie intake?

You have probably messed up your metabolism by eating such low calories. Yes you should definitely eat more calories, maybe even eat your maintenance calories for a while. Read this and hopefully it will help http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-<span class=

Because you are recovering from a surgery, please, please, please talk to a doctor or dietician who knows your medical history Before you make drastic changes to your diet/cal intake.
