    With the username- "eatskinny" you may be attracting friends who have a goal to be skinny and will starve to get there. If you have a different mindset, then maybe think about changing your username. Not attacking your username, just pointing out what might be one of the problems. If it was my first thought, then it may be for others as well.

    600 calories a day? Thats starving... but there are a lot of people here that get on a high horse about eating too much or too little.

    Some days I eat 1200 calories (thats my minimum), some days I eat over 2000. I let my hunger dictate food intake. Its just as important to balance out protein, carbs, sugar etc.

    "Let me hear your body talk, your body talk". I forget who sings that song but thats what I do and I feel great and am losing weight.

    They could be counting calories for a week instead of a day.

    I do not understand that comment?

    Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating that does not revolve around how much you eat in 1 day.

    If having a burger and fries now and again is what you're looking for then hello! :bigsmile:

    I love burgers. I ave gone off fries unless they are home madeor baked. But seriously, my GP told me 'you can get enough vitamins out of a burger'

    I'm definitely learning to eat, and it can be tough when you see people with similar stats eating far less than you. I just keep reminding myself that I'm going about this the right way, losing slowly and learning how different foods affect me. I just discovered TDEE and am eating TDEE-20%, and I'm enjoying it! I do not always make perfect choices and sometimes we all slip up, but that's all in the name of the game. I'd love more friends! :)

    Please add me. It drives me banana's. I even put something in my profile that you need to eat or I will delete you. Needless to say, I have deleted a number of people.

    I have been EATING for two years now and am down almost 50 pounds. It works, just wish everyone got that.

    Good luck to you.

    I totally understand your point. It is hard to try to do things right and slow when you see your news feed keeps announcing that all your friends are losing a lot of weight, and when you look at their diaries they net is below 800cals. It makes you ask yourself if you are actually doing things right. Oh well, you can add me if you want. I eat at TDEE -20% (1650) and no below my BMR of 1343.

    I am having chocolate and red wine right now! I may not be the best model though, as I have to make an extraordinary effort to get above 1400 a day.
