To be honest, you are better off if you start eating back your exercise calories. When you don't, when you lose weight, you have a tendency to lose muscle as well (which maintains the BF%). Once your body uses all the energy from your fat stores, it turns to muscle. This is the importance of weight training and eating enough to fuel the fire. Also, someone as tall as you, seriously needs more than 1200 calories. Seriously, take a look at the fat2fit website to figure out your caloric needs and shapefit.com for more good information.

Age: 30 (well I will be tomorrow!)
Sex: F
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 130.5
BF: 21.1% (omron handheld monitor)
Daily calories: MFP set my maintenance at 1650, but when I did the calculation in New Rules of Lifting for Women it gave me 1949. I'm still working on finding true maintenance (and don't mind if I lose another pound or two while I do it).
Goal Weight: I put 129 on my ticker. I'd be happy falling anywhere between 126-130.
BF Goal: 19%0 -
Age: 36
Sex: F
Body Fat : 26.56% (as of 7/20... new measurements in about a week)
Weight: 157 (on 7/20 to keep it balanced... currently 155.6)
Daily Calories: 1810.36 (average since May 1... I have a spreadsheet.)
BF Goal (optional): 19-21%
edit to add: Hmmm... Since July 5th, when my husband and I started an intense exercise program, my daily intake average has jumped to 1893.47 per day. Before that was 1752.83.0 -
I don't understand all this yet. I've only been tracking a week, and I have no weight change. I seldom eat all the allocated daily calories. I've been under every day but one; however I try to eat as much as I can. I have gone over the fat allowance once(2 g) and over the protein allowance twice. I never eat as many carbs as this site recommends (and I never will)
Age: 50
Sex: F
Body Fat : 34%
Weight: 168
Daily Calories: 1300
Weight goal: 157
BF Goal (optional): 22%
Using the US Navy site reference:
Body Mass Index: 25.6 kg/m2
Waist-to-Height ratio: 0.49
Percent Body Fat: 34.2%
Lean Body Mass: 110.6 lb
"Your BMI is greater than normal, but your waist-to-height ratio is normal.
You may be overweight or have unusual mass distribution. (huh?)
Your diet should contain at least 81 grams of protein per day".
Questions: Do calories consumed at night "behave" differently? Does it make a difference when calories are consumed? Is there an answer of fact?
If I consume less calories than exerted, don't I HAVE to lose weight? I am in constant motion. How can I lose muscle when I am on my feet and moving 8+ hours/day? Any help appreciated here.
I'm looking forward to observations from this study. Thanks!0
