    At 753 calories, eat your ice cream. You have to eat a minimum of 1200 calories to keep your body from going into starvation mode, which will only stall weight loss. And on the flip side of a starvation diet, your body will store new carbs as fat, making it even harder to shake the pounds and fat.

    Now this doesn't mean that once you get your minimum 1200 calories in your digestive track, that you can't burn a few hundred thru exercise.

    You haven't really eaten a proper "meal" with a diary like that...two egg whites and a multi vitamin isn't dinner. Do you not get hungry?

    What are your stats...what does MFP give you as a calorie limit with it set to a 1 or 2lb loss? How much do you need to lose? What did you eat like before? How far under your daily goal are you falling? Some more info would be useful.

    You seem to be missing out on an awful lot of food groups which are essential for good nutrition. Look at it this way, a child aged 1-3 should have around 1000-1200 kcals per day. You're eating less than what a toddler would/should eat.

    Great advices!
  • Yes. Eating like this can also cause binges/cravings which you seriously do not want. I understand that it's just how you feel and you're happy with that but you really should try and eat more. Here if you want to talk <3
