    I just posted this on another thread, so I am copying and pasting but bottom line is DO NOT go below you BMR:

    Your body needs X amount of calories to survive (your BMR). If you do not provide your body with this energy (calories are a unit of energy) via food, it will find it elsewhere. That “elsewhere” it finds it is your muscle (aka lean tissue).

    OK, so now you are eating below your BMR and losing fat and muscle. By reducing the amount of muscle your body has, you are lowering your body’s energy requirement. This is known as killing your metabolism. This is why strength training is recommended for people losing weight. The more muscle you build, the more energy your body needs, the better your metabolism.

    I also find if I go over 1300 a day I dont lose much? It maybe my 2o years of yoyo 'dieting' now Im on here Im trying to change to way of living,or could it be im 42?
