Too little calorie consumption?

i don't have the slightest idea on my body fat.

but if increase my calories by a lot, i'll literally have to FORCE myself to eat. that's my dilemma .

I'm from Wisconsin, I can't switch milks it's what i was raised on. I already dip my apples in yogurt! I drink SOME juice (i don't record it because they're just gulps throughout the day). So technically, I guess it probably adds an extra 100 or so.

i suppose i could always switch up my yogurt though as a start.

Here's my problem. I eat around 1500 calories a day. This is eating one big meal, and then several small meals throughout the day. (largest meal being around 700 calories). I'm never hungry, and I don't feel starved at all. I generally only eat around 400-500 calories BEFORE i hit the gym, and i feel completely fine.

So, in essence, I don't have a problem. However, I just feel that 750 is clearly too low for net calories. i'm 6'1 and currently 210 lbs. Should I reduce my workout regime or increase my calories by A LOT, or should I just keep doing what I"m doing?

I might just add a serving of brown rice to my main meal to add a quick 150 calories, but still 900 is lower than most suggest. But, again, I am NOT hungry.

I'm losing around 2 lbs a week, so I'm not concerned about my progression; I'm more concerned about how healthy I am.

Also, if any active members would like to be friends, I'd appreciate it. Send me a request if you do. I didn't think I'd use MFP a whole lot other than do calculate my calories, but it seems I'm a lot more active on it than I expected

LOL your BMR is 2004!

Why on earth are you eating like that?!

Probably have a TDEE in the 3000s!

I say cut to 2500, 2300 in the least and watch the fat fall off.

If you were a woman id say eat 2100 daily so either way you dont eat properly for your build.

i eat when i'm hungry. when i'm not hungry, i don't eat.

There are so many factors at play in how your body is responding. Yes a calorie deficient lifestyle will loose weight. However, there are some important things to understand about nutrition.
1. The first thing is to define your goals very specifically. loose weight-gain muscle- loose weight and gain muscle-pure maintenance. If you just wish to loose weight and eat at an undisciplined caloric deficit you will start to burn muscle. keep in mind the more muscle you have the better your body burns fat so nutrition is very important in preventing that
2. the goal you set determines (partly) what your nutritional needs are. On average you can figure your daily caloric intake at about 8 times your weight so at 210 you should probably consume around 1650 to 1700 kcal a day this should put you between 10 to 20% bellow you BMI/TDEE giving you a healthy deficit resulting in 1 to 2 pound loss a week. (remember everyones body responds differently and it takes time to learn how your body responds to food and excersice) als o keep in mind this is general guide lines.
3. where do the calories come from. fat, protein and carbs make up the calories. you need to understand how each plays a part in your nutrition carbs=energy they break down to sugars that feed necessary processes that keep you functioning day to day if you eat to few you will start to feel tired and listless,however, if you eat to many you flirt with hypoglycemia. If your body has to many sugars from the carb process it will store that sugar as fat in muscle cells as well as other places....fat regardless of it being a nasty word is needed in your diet. for one thing it is required for healthy skin..it is also needed in other various body function to complicated to delve into here....protein...ok this is a subject of much debate but there is some basic undeniable truths about protein...it burns more calories to digest protein that carbs or fat therefore it sort of boosts your metabolism...it is required to build and maintain muscle...everything else about protein is unimportant unless you are a bodybuilder or competition weightlifter.
4. ok so how much of each do you need. The standard most agree on is 50% carb 30% protein 20% fat. remember these are general rules and can vary from person to person. Guidelines only. learn your own body.
5. If you do lots of cardio you will burn calories..many people say too much cardio burns muscle..there are new studies that show this to be incorrect if proper nutrition is maintained...in my opinion for healthy weight loss you need both cardio and strength training (keep in mind the more muscle you have the more fat your body will burn (kind of..it actually burns it more efficiently) and if you strength train then you have got to maintain a proper protein intake (for women a good general rule is .6 to .8 times your body weight in grams s at 210 pounds 126 to 168 grams of protein a day)
6. DRINK WATER>>>DRINK WATER>>>>DRINK WATER....drink at least 8 cups a day...WARNING..DO NOT PUT IT OFF TILL 2 HOURS BEFORE BEDTIME OR YOU WILL PAY THE PIPER AND BECOME VERY FAMILIAR WITH YOUR TOILET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

ok so what....can you loose weight with out all of this above? sure, you can loose weight eating nothing but Twinkies if you maintain a caloric deficiency. but is the weight loss healthy? absolutely not.
Bottom line here is that nutrition and not just maintaining a caloric deficit is a key component in healthy weight loss. loosing 8 pounds a week is not healthy (usually unless supervised by a professional) you will burn muscle be weak and yoyo, it is difficult to maintain and sustain weight loss longterm this way (major cause of failure).
one more hint...one of the most effective ways to cut calories is substitution. replace mayonnaise with low fat mayo, replace whole milk with 1% or skim milk, replace that syrup for your pankakes with sugar free syrup, get sugar free jelly or jam, get fat free coffee creamer etc etc. you would be amazed how many calories a week you can cut with nothing other than substitution. in our house we discovered we cut so many calories through substitution (and then the added calorie burn from cardio and strength training) that the amount of food we eat is actually greater than before even maintaining a 10 to 20 % caloric deficit. we even have sugar free icecream sandwiches a few times a week.

nutrition (learn about food)...learn your body...cardio..strength train...drink water=healthy weight loss and a better more energetic you I PROMISE
if you do these things with diligence and patience you will not only loose weight heathily you will form a new lifestyle that will become habit. it will be easier to eat out because you know food and how to budget it...you will form a habit of a healthy lifestyle.

It comes down to this; do you want to lose muscle or fat? If you like your muscles you need to eat enough calories to sustain. Also for those who say listen to your body i will say this... hunger signals can be suppressed. Its why people who are anoerexic dont feel hungry while only eat 500 calories... its also the reason why people on interim fasting are starving the first week but after that can sustain longer periods of time without food. If you want to test this, go 2 weeks with eating 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. Then go back yo just eating 1 meal with a couple of snacks and see the hunger difference.

You are confusing CALORIES with PROTEIN!
