    What do you use to measure that 600 calorie burn? Seems awfully high.

    This... at 93lbs I doubt you are buring that much. It's hard for me to do that and I have 30lbs on you.

    BUT... unless you are like 4'7" you shouldn't lose any more weight.... hit the weights instead!

    That's what I was thinking.

    uhhhhhh....fit and toned people actually eat...a lot. you're netting 600 calories per day...you're not even providing your body with adequate energy for basic functions. Set your goal to maintenance and eat accordingly...and get into the weight room

    @cwolfman13

    You reminded me of this quote that was posted in the around the gym a couple weeks ago.

    Hi guys!
    Sorry this response is so delayed...

    Let me go into a bit more details.
    I am extremely short 4"11.. and I'm 23 years old. Lol (def not 16)

    I was overweight beginning of last year and then something traumatic happened in my life and I went into awful depression, that's when I lost so much weight.
    I'm not trying to lose any more weight, just build some muscle..
    After such a tough year last year and struggling to eat due to no appetite, it's tough for me to force myself to get through the 1200 calories... but I've been pushing, it's not me being funny..

    I don't eat back my calories and I'm pretty sure my calories burnt is accurate. I use a heart rate monitor... I do one hour cardio and one hour weights 5x per week.

    If you struggle to eat more, maybe ditch the cardio for a while. Add in more foods that are high calorie but low volume e.g. olive oil, peanut butter, full fat dairy.

    I burn about 500 calories with exercise five days a week. I really doubt someone can burn 600 calories with exercise while only eating 1200 calories. I expect the 600 is incorrect.

    i burn up to 800 an hour doing cardio at the gym via my hrm, it can be done if you keep your heart rate high

    Not only all your exercise calories, but more than 1200. You need a calorie surplus to gain muscle.

    I'm sure it's possible, but OP weighs 92lb.

    I don't even burn 600 in an hour at the gym(I never use MFP estimates because of how inflated they are), maybe 400(jogging on treadmill)? And I'm 205lb.


    ETA: Definitely bump your calories up to maintenance. I would suggest a training program for muscle definition, but you REALLY need to eat more. I hear NROLFW and Stronglifts 5x5, but look into some programs, see what works for you!

    For the OP to net 600 calories from cardio requires a run of over 10 miles. HRMs count heart beats, not calories.

    Your exercise burns at your weight and that kind of exercise are overinflated

    At 160lb (at maintenance by the way) it would take me 84 minutes of intense cardio (HR at 150) to burn 600 calories

    Don't use a HRM to measure calorie burned during weights ...it will not be anywhere near appropriate

    You need to eat back some exercise calories, to net cals of 600 is just not healthy. If you find it hard to eat, choose a few calorie dense foods. I always eat back 50-75% of my exercise cals.

    Well, if you go by my HRM, I burn 1,300 with exercise five days a week. But HRMs rely on the same tables as MFP to determine how many calories you burn. I think my height throws them off. So, instead, I use the physics calculations for energy expended while riding a bicycle. I have more confidence in that, because even though there are some differences in efficiency between people, pushing a mass around on wheels is a relatively easy thing to calculate the energy for. It also matches what I expect based on my weight loss totals. I don't find 800 an hour doing cardio at the gym to be believable.
