hey guys im a bit worried....for the past six days ive been under my calorie needs, due to not having food in the house (student living haha)

im supposed to be eating 1,700 a day but i've been eating anywhere between 1,100-1,500 since last Saturday...i have shopping now...and a lot of it..but i was wondering if 6 days of being a lot under my goal would have stalled my weight loss..does this mean i wont really loose in this upcoming week because my metabolism will so so slow?

thanks guys

It takes much longer than that for low calories to slow your metabolism. Don't sweat it. :flowerforyou:

Also, if your deficit is too large you'll still lose weight. It's not a good idea because you lose muscle, which slows metabolism over the long run, but you will lose weight if you're under on your calories.

You can't wreck your metabolism in a week.

And it's "lose," not "loose."

As you lose weight, your clothes get loose.
