My net is 1300 says MFP. I workout and burn 400ish calories a day which brings it to 1700. At the end of the day I end up with only around 900-1100 calories...I eat every 3 hours and I always eat until I'm full. I don't feel like I'm starving myself inside but I do have slight headaches. Please take a look at my diary. Starting tomorrow I am going to add more food for breakfast but please help me. My weight loss has been 1.5 pounds the past 2 weeks and it is supposed to be 2.

    I think that you are doing great - slow weight loss is better than it coming off too quickly.

    I would encourage you to eat more for breakfast - your breakfast will kick start your metabolism :wink:

    Keep going :smile:

    I'm sorry, I know you don't feel like you're starving yourself, but our bodies don't always send the clearest of signals when it comes to being hungry/full. The reality is you're netting 600-800 calories less than you should be on a daily basis, and you're already having some issues. Please eat at least your 1300 calories plus most of your exercise calories. Better yet, go to the BMR calculator under the Tools tab and figure that out, then eat that amount plus your exercise calories. Eat lots of veggies and fruit and protein. And watch your sodium intake - almost all prepared foods contain large amounts of salt (and quite a bit of flash-frozen chicken products have been brine-injected - read the labels). Lastly, keep in mind that we seldom lose 2 pounds each and every week.
