in Introduce Yourself
I am looking to add some girls that eat. Most on my list don't. I just started the fat2fit method a week ago. It says to eat 2161 cals a day, but I was eating a vlcd.before so I am working up to it and need ideas to add in more calories that are healthy. I did manage at least 1900 each day this week :) I feel better than before. Not tired or sluggish than when I was eating 1300-1500.

Also would like to hear some success stories of people that went from a vlcd to eating more and how its affected your weightloss.

    I'm looking for girls that eat as well,

    If they took a breath or two now and again, that'd be nice too.

    Feel free to add me. I EAT! I ate 2500 calories today. I'm not gaining or losing right now -- I'm doing a metabolism reset so I am eating at maintenance. But its amazing to me that I can eat so much and not gain. And it's helping my metabolism. I just got my RMR tested a few days ago and its at 1701.

    I ate VLCD (1300) for many months. I also had no energy, hair falling out, nails chipping, and constant infections, etc. Just very sickly. And cold all the time.

    Now that I am eating more, I feel GOOD and I have ENERGY! I have been exercising so much now that I have lots of calories and protein! I love it! I will never eat low calorie again! And I know that the weight will be melting off me as soon as I finish my reset and start eating 15% below TDEE.

    I'm no stranger to real food or breathing, but I don't think I'm much help I don't always log.

    I'm adding people experienced in heavy lifting, who's in?

    I eat 1600ish a day - but I don't deprive myself of anything, ever, because I enjoy food too much for that. Generally speaking, at least once a week I eat pizza. Not sure if that qualifies for you. :P

    I'm at a loose end and I occasionally breath when I remember. Can I qualify?

    I eat quite a bit and what I've found is hill walking for 2 hours a day burns about 1000 cals, so yeah, I eat fats, food, everything now. Bonus now is that there is weight loss and I get to eat!

    I have been eating at 1800-1900 cals a day and averaging 1.5 lbs lost a week. Never going back to eating less than 1500 cals again.

    Ok wow, I'm amazed. can you guys tell me how you manage to eat so much and still lose weight?I Although I haven't actually tried to eat more than about 1400 a day, I just assumed that if I did I wouldn't have a decent enough calorie deficit to lose any weight. I've been doing this for about 6 months now and thought I was pretty well informed, but now I realise I'm still very much a white belt...

    Oh good lord, you have missed out of eating some seriously good shizzle lol. But seriously, yeah I eat around 1900-2000 daily, when I'm actually trying to behave myself. I don't think any woman, unless she's very sedentary or very overweight needs to eat less than around 1600 cals a day for weight loss. Obviously some special snowflakes will be exceptions, but I'm talking your average chick here.

    Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I have one evening a week where I eat whatever the hell I want, which usually includes chocolate or icecream. I have a personal trainer who has been an enormous support to me and the 1300-1400 was her recommendation.

    I'm back on the wagon now after a week off exercise with the flu, and eating crap, so maybe I'll use this next week, when I'll be working out every day and trying to stick to my daily limit, as a bit of an experiment, and then the following week up my calories a bit and see what happens.

    Maybe it depends on what you're actually eating within those calories? I eat very few carbs, generally, and lots of protein and good fats. And usually too much sugar :)

    Well it may not work if you are tiny but I'm 5-9, 167 lbs, 26% bf and 29 years old. My BMR is 1560 and TDEE is 2400. I tried eating 1500 calories when I first started tracking again and didn't lose anything for a month - I did lose a couple of inches but the scale kept fluctuating around 171-172. I upped my calories to 1800 and finally started losing. I try to eat a lot of protein throughout the day and usually eat 5-6 times a day (breakfast bar when I get up (I get up really early and can't stomach anything more than that at 3am), a snack when I get to work about 3 hours later, lunch, 1-2 snacks during the day and then dinner when I get home). When I pack my food for work, the Tupperware nearly fills a normal sized grocery bag, needless to say I am never hungry and eating on a schedule keeps me from constantly thinking about food and snacking,

    I don't know, I think I see what you are getting at though, if I read between the lines you are saying that if we eat higher cals we are filling up with high calorie 'bad food'? If thats what you mean, I would say no, not true. My protein intake is normally between 170-200 on a good day, so the majority of my cals come from protein, the rest from rice, veg, fruit, yoghurt generally. Higher calorie amounts does not have to equal eating processed 'junk food'. For some of us it's just more of the better choices food wise. No diet foods, just regular full fat stuff, it easily adds to 1900 daily, no problem at all.
