Not eating all my calories

not at all, i dont eat all of my calories either but i still lose weight. thats just what they recommend and find healthiest

Hello, once in a while is fine, but if you do this often and it sounds like you do, over time this will eventually throw your body into famine or starvation mode. Why because the minimum your body needs to function is at least 1200 cals a day. Here is a blog that could help you better understand: http://fattyfightsback.blogspot.com/2009/03/mtyhbusters-starvation-mode.html Hope this helps:)
O yea feel free to add me. lol

I dunno. I'm 5'-0" and sometimes 1200 calories is impossible for me. I'm shooting for 1400, but yesterday...I ate some hearty meals where I felt like I was going to burst, so 1030-ish was as good as it was gonna get. :laugh:

I wish short people would stop this... seriously... 5 feet... 6 feet.. YOU NEED TO EAT MORE THAN 1000 CALORIES.

I seriously do not know how you people do not start chewing on your friends arms and legs. I am 4'9.5" tall I have the hardest time eating 1200 calories but not because of the reasons you think, I CANNOT stay at 1200 calories as hard as I try if I eat anything less than 1400 calorie I become a raging b!tch - more so than normal, add exercise and the world would end if I ate 1000 Calories.

Eat more food... the end. If you need to sit your self down with a jar of peanut butter and eat it with a damn spoon. Eat calorie dense food, eat veggies, eat fruit, eat lean meats, eat carbs - pasta, bread oh my, eat cheese and drink milk.
Reaching 1200 calories is not hard - obviously you were doing it before you started trying to lose weight you had no problems doing it than so stop thinking its so hard now.

Edited: Spelling... not my strongest suit today.

I do not have the facilities to make my own food due to the type of accommodation I live at in university. This means that when I track my food I have no real way of knowing if the calories are accurate a lot of the time,. This means that I usually try to eat 1000 instead of 1,200 to give myself some leeway in case I have been undercalculating. I do not get hungry and I have been losing weight this way.
