    I want to know abt how much calories I need to re-eat to avoid going into starvation mood? I am currently at 1200 calories and I don't generally past 500 calories burned. About how much will I need to re-eat to avoid going into starvation mood?

    Great post!
    I know there are always debates on this topic.

    As someone who's goal is 1200 per day and having underactive thyroid i'm prone to getting very drowsy/tired and find if I do eat back the calories I burn each day I still lose 0.5 to 2lbs per week and have the energy I need to go on with my day to day life not feeling worn out and depressed.

    It's encouraging to see this because I used to think if I didn't eat back my burnt off calories this would mean I'd lose weight for sure! Turns out I was just miserable....tired and didn't shift any extra weight!

    I definitely feel so much healthier eating back my cals and having extra energy! :-D

    It was an interesting reply until she started talking about starvation mode.

    Your trainer knows very little about nutrition and is not a good resource.

    If 1200 Cals is or might be even to little. How can one work out exactly how much. I feel tired and icky with 1200 being my limit but I am not really losing like I want to. Also if you eat healthy then its sometimes hard to even consume 1200cals

    HELP
