Burning 1700 calories daily by working out....

Good lord, how much exercise are you doin??

I'm supposed to eat 1578 calories a day to lose 2 lbs per week. If I burn 1700 calories by workouts and only eat 3000 calories instead of 3293 will I lose weight and how much weight should I lose each week?

You would be creating a deficit of 293 cals which would give you just over 1/2 lb per week loss based on the 500cal deficit per day for 1lb.

However exercising that much everyday is likely to be counter productive and wouldn't be recommended. For most people a 1700 cal burn would require at least 3 hours of intense exercise. So as others have said, what exercise are you doing?,

instead of over training do less reps with heavier weight

you'll save time
change your body for the better
and lose inches

Sounds like too much exercise. Instead of eating 3000 and burning 1700 for a net of 1300 why not eat 2000 and burn just 700? Which also leaves you with a net of 1300. You can spend the extra time on something else.

Does that burn more calories or just build muscle and how many extra calories do I eat based on 1400-1500 cal diet. Will I loose fat? I have 60-70 more lbs to go...

You cannot build muscle on a calorie deficit - what it WILL do is preserve the lean mass you have now and you will look leaner and more fit once the layers of fat are gone.

I'm with this guy - stop doing so much exercise and work on strength training. Cardio really should only be like twice a week, for like an hour max each time.

Oh, and yes, please get more protein in! 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (or lean body mass if you can calculate that) is best.

Why is your goal 1270 calories, if you plan on eating 3000?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and suggest that the reason you're not seeing results anymore is that you've cut back your calories too much and over exercised, creating too much of a deficit. When you do that, you'll lose weight quickly for a short period of time, and then you hit a wall, which is what it sounds like has happened.

Is your food diary accurate? If so, you really need to eat more food. You were well below 1000 calories on most of the days you actually tracked. Having something like an orange for dinner? That's not dinner...that's barely a snack.

I see you say you've lost 31 pounds in 11 weeks--that's a lot of weight in a relatively short period of time. I don't want to be mean or discourage you, but it sounds like you're going about this whole weight loss/fitness thing in a really unhealthy, extreme way. You've got a bunch of kids and a husband--your goals should focus on being healthy and happy, so you can enjoy your family. Don't do this to yourself.

Eat an appropriate number of calories, slow down the weight loss machine, exercise a reasonable amount--NOT TWICE A DAY. Not 1700 calories worth of "burn" or whatever. Just chill out a bit, eat better, measure and track everything, and exercise reasonably. You'll be happier with your body in the end, and you'll feel better.

Check out the threads here on MFP called "In Place of A Road Map" and do some reading as to how you can eat a reasonable amount of food and exercise in a sane manner and lose fat.

Be well.... :flowerforyou:

u d ont eat 3000 caloories
eat the 1575 calories and minus the exercis e from that
3000 calories is way over what anyone is supposed to eat in one day

Try not to see strength training and separate exercise to burning calories, you do burn calories and although you will buld muscle you wont look like a man! A brilliant book is "the new rule of lifting for women" http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-New-Rules-Lifting-Women/dp/1583333398/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366376078&sr=8-1&keywords=lifting+for+women

It gets rid of a lot of misconceptions about weight training, being 'toned' is basically building muscle and its much more efficient way of working out.

When you say youre not seeing results, what results are you looking for? We might be able to help more?

Also, my aim is to get smaller opposed to weigh less, although weighing less is a good indicator of that. But if you are getting stronger and smaller and more 'toned' you may also weigh a little more, because muscle weighs more than fat. Do you measure yourself too? I lost 2 inches in the time that I had only lost a few pounds!

ETA- I just had a sneaky peek at your profile and my god you have done well!! 29lb in 10 weeks is fantastic, so dont worry if your loss slows down, it will start to xx

What settings did you use to determine your base calorie amount to lose 2 pounds per week? That would be a 1000 calorie deficit per day making your sedentary maintenance calories over 2500...seems off for a 30 year old with only 60-70 pounds to lose. Just wanted to make sure that exercise isn't being double-counted in there somehow.

Use your diet for weight control; exercise for fitness. Trying to sustain a reasonable calorie deficit with exercise is very difficult to do and often results in over training. It is better to build the deficit into your diet...then you can set fitness goals that are independent of calorie burn...then you will be much happier and enjoy your exercise much more...you will also find yourself with a sustainable diet and fitness plan.

1700 calories burned daily working out is really dubious.
