not sure what you mean by burn all the calories you eat?
can you expand?0 -

yea this ^0 -
i burn more calories than i eat0

I would recommand eating back your exercise calories. If you burned them, your body needs energy to recover, you certainly don't want to put your body in starvation mode!0

i burn more calories than i eat
How much are you netting?...if anything?0 -
my problem is i dont get hungry with the diet i eat the serving sizes but i dont get hungry on the low carb like i used to0

i burn more calories than i eat
yes, that's how people lose weight, but how much more are we talking about?
Do you mean burn more all day, or burn more just doing exercise?0 -

That is a very bad plan.

like i exercise every day at 530 when i get home and then i eat dinner and a sack but i still end up burning more0

Having a deficit from your daily needs is good but your body also needs to have a set minimum for proper metabolism. Even if you'd be eating 500 a day but if you're body can't fuel enough for a good metabolism then your progress will stagger and will result to lean muscle loss than fat since the order of energy usage is carbs - protein then fat. Fat takes more to be metabolized into energy so most likely your muscles will be tapped as source of energy.
I'd say at least eat to a minimum of 1200 total after workout burn just to keep your body going if you really are after calorie deficit.0 -

YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS!!!! HOW MANY CALS?0 -
I checked your diary....based on yesterday you netted -62 calories. Continuing this will lead to a multitude of problems. EAT0

i eat atleast 1000 calories a day, but i burn like 600 plus calories a day0
-
How many calories do you eat a day? How many calories do you burn through exercise a day? What is your BMR?0
-

Yes, that's bad. You give it 1000 cals worth of energy. You use 600 of that for exercise. Your body can't function (healthily at least) on 400 cals for the rest of the day.0 -
I just looked back through your diary... assuming that last week or so is correct, you aren't doing that badly. You generally are netting ~1000 cals, which is definitely low, but not scary low like you're talking about here.0

i just have a hard time eating them back0

How are you calculating calories burned? Do you use a HRM?0
