I'm Scared!! Increasing calories TOO FAST??!!

RachRice29

I'm planning to increase my calories, do I have to do it slowly, over a few weeks? I am already anticipating a little weight gain at first, but I didn't know if I should jump from 1200 to 1600 (where I want to be, now) all at once....

I've been restricting my calories to netting 1200 a day, and sometimes, wouldn't even eat back my exercise calories (I know, I know, I know!). I exersize pretty intensely, and am a strength-training junkie. Now, I'm finally brave enough to increase my caloric intake from 1200, and vow to eat back ALL my exercise calories!


Current Weight: 135lbs
Goal Weight: 127lbs
Exercise: Spinning (3-4 days a week), Running (3 days a week), P90X (everyday)

Just do it. That still may be low.
