I'm a newbie LoL

hi i've literally just joined too.. i also hope this works! i've been recommended 1200 cals, and if i go under it i'm scared i'll end up eating too little, then topping it up with a lovely evening session of bread and butter which i'm all too familiar with but i wouldn't say it was bad. I'd go with how you were feeling tbh

It is bad if you don't eat enough calories. I learned the hard way. I was eating only 800 calories and burning 500 and I did not lose one pound in a week!!!! That is because... I was not eating enough calories. I also learned that my body will eat the proteins in my muscles and store the fat, reducing my muscle mass and in turn reducing my metabolism if I don't eat enough calories... And here I am thinking eating less and burning more calories is the way to go. It's not.
