    Only?


    Holy hell man! That's not cool. You should be eating to sustain your body and lose in a healthy manner, which you're not doing. Dropping to your goal weight as fast as possible isn't going to do your body any favors.
    Ok, I'm glad someone else caught that too. That's extremely fast. What's the rush, speedracer?

    Your diary is quite concerning, as others have mentioned. If you are logging everything, you seem to be skipping meals here and there. That really won't help you in the long run - you'll be prone to more cravings. It looks like your sodium is too high also, in terms of what mfp has recommended. There's some really good advice and discussion in nutrition section as well - perhaps have a read through.

    Yep, eat some food. If you are logging properly, there is not enough nutritious food there. Get that soup maker out and start eating. :)

    The funny thing is is I am eating healthier now that I watching calories. The only thing that has changed is now I am eating more food and a larger variety of food just smaller proportions of it and I have changed some of the high cal foods for low cal foods. Like coke that has about 140-160 cal. for dr pepper that only has10 cal. oh and Lots more water 2-4 cups of water. As you can See now I am eating healthy. Or Ill at least say HEALTHIER

    OP, what is your height? I'm curious to find out because if your diary is accurate, you're eating half of what I do. I was eating at 1500 cal and felt weak after 4 days and couldn't continue exercising until I increased my intake. Now I'm at 2000 cals and feel that this is sustainable with my level of exercise.

    So OP, you may want to ignore the people telling you to eat more and countering with "but I'm eating healthy" (and no, that little even of good food is not healthy) you won't be able to ignore every single ounce that you put back on in 6 months to a year because what you're doing IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.

    Or try worrying about eating the proper amount of calories before you even bother with other macros.

    I'm a 5'6" female and I eat around 1,800 calories on average and lose just fine.

    EAT MORE FOOD. YOU'RE HURTING YOUR BODY.

    NO. It's not healthier to starve yourself.

    Typical attention-seeking behaviour from someone with at least two or three eating disorders.

    Sorry to be blunt, OP. But you're not going to find validation here. What you're doing is not healthy. And if you insist on continuing on that way, you're going to do serious long-term damage to yourself.

    We can't stop you from harming yourself. But we're not going to pretend it's okay either.

    OP your intake looks pretty low, but a lot of your entries seem kind of off. Like deep fried homemade chicken drumstick 150 calories? and 7 oz pork loin thing 210 calorie. 7 oz of lean pork is more than that and then depending on how it was prepared. I dunno. And you might want to consume a bit more fruits and vegetables.

    No, MFP figures in your calorie deficit. You're eating BEYOND a healthy deficit.
