Hi,
I have currently lost a total of 56 lbs in about the past 9 months mainly doing a 1200 calorie diet. The last 3-4 months I have lost nothing. I jog 1-3 times a week for 2.5 miles and I am pretty active at work so I consider myself lightly active on the scooby fitness calorie counter .I was feeling hungry all the time and saw I was eating way below my bmr so I finally upped my calories to 1535 about 3 weeks ago and have gained 3 pounds. Should I up my cals again, lower them, keep them the same? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,
Jenny

Hello!
I would definitely bump up 100 calories per week for the next couple of weeks until you reach your cut target.
Your cut target, according to Scooby, at light activity level is:
1740 - (this is a 15% cut)
So I would work your way up here, and then test it for a couple of weeks at least to see if there are any changes.
The process of coming off a VLCD to a normal diet will have some ups and downs, but its worth it if you stick it out.
Thanks!
