Hi,
I'm about 5' 7" and currently weigh ~181 lbs.
In the month of June (2 months back) I weighed around 200 lbs and came down to 189 lbs by the start of July. I used to consume around 1650 calories a day and had been skipping breakfast. Come July I cut down on my calorie intake to below 1500 (averaging around 1350) and started doing cardio. I started with running-jogging-walking 2.4km (net calorie 1200). By mid-July my jog-walk increased to about 2.9km and my "net" calorie intake has been below 1200.
Currently I am doing cardio of around 3.3 km burning about 245 calories. At the same time I am making sure that I walk an extra > 3km burning about another 250 calories, i.e. my total calorie burn is 450-500. Even with an additional ~380 calories for breakfast, I am trying to make sure that my net calorie intake for the day is around about 1100.
Should I be worried about decreased weight-loss? Would I be gaining weight? I am trying to increase my cardio intensity and duration at the same time. Should I start skipping breakfast again? I don't munch extra during the day if I skip breakfast. I could be consuming below 1200 calories if I skip breakfast and do about 1400 now.

I added breakfast after reading that it helps increase your metabolism, and I believe that I have low metabolism.

    I have posted this in the wrong section I believe. How do I delete this post?

    You can't delete it but you can ask the mods to do it. Or move it to the proper section.





    ....... But while you're here, I'd just like to point out that eating or not eating breakfast is unlikely to have an effect on your metabolism so you might as well eat in a manner that's most comfortable to you.

    If metabolism is a concern, you should be adding a resistance training regimen to your workout schedule

    You're wrong. EAting breakfast gets your metabolism started for the day.
