That's great.
Maybe I should switch to 1400 a day, it's only 100 extra calories, but I would probably feel fuller and be a little less stressed.

Hi im still learning at this, Cant seem to get the grasp im supposed to eat 1200 cals but i am always going over my protein goal before i get any where near my cals. I eat fruit and mainly salad with either jacket potato or chicken then i'm full anyway. I do look in the fridge/cupboards to see if there is anything else that i could eat later but not alot without protein.

Don't worry about the protein. You need more than MFP says if you're exercising a lot as it helps with muscle recovery.

tessa, I always go over my protien and I get them from just eating natural foods (like almonds and turkey). Sometimes I take a protien shake after a workout (and now chocolate milk!).

cello, you could always try it and see if it works for you. I heard that you are supposed to go slowly, like 50 extra cals a week (or is it 100?) but I just jumped right on it lol.

100 calories isn't a big leap. It's an extra glass of milk, hehe.

It's worth a try...so you switch to 1400 for a couple weeks and see how your body responds. Nothing says you can't switch back.

But hey...if eating 200 more calories means you keep losing fine (or even start losing again after a plateau)..then why the heck wouldn't you eat them???:laugh: :laugh:
