Could i lose weight eating 1300-1400 calories?

im 5'1 and lose on 1500 a day ....

Most likely. Set your goal to half a pound a week since you only want to lose a stone, and you'll have more calories.

Have you tried setting your goal to 1 lb per week?
And if you have a fairly active job, setting your Activity level to Lightly Active?

I'm a little taller than you, but even on Sedentary activity level 1300 calories will result in 0.5 lb per week loss for me (I'm 5'4.5" and I think the conversion comes to 8 stone 10.5 lbs....122.5 lbs).

Anyway based on this calculator, you could lose on at least 1300 if not more based on your actual activity level:

I'm 5'2 and MFP has me set up to eat 1,590 calories a day but I barely eat 1,000. Mainly because I eat pretty clean. Try cutting out processed foods you'll feel fuller longer and won't have to worry alot about eating too many calories.
I eat 4-6 times a day and i get tired of eating at about 6pm every day because I feel like that's all I do.

If your goal is 1590, that's what you should be eating. 1000 calories a day over the long term can cause muscle loss and other serious health concerns.

if my dr told me I was fine eating less than 1000 calories and that my muscles are not feeding off one another.Id find another doctor. problem is you dont know when you lose muscle,you lose some just losing weight, you can help prevent some of the loss but not on less than 1000 calories.

I'm 5ft one and weigh 11 stone, would like to get down to ten stone, I'm currently eating 1200 calories but I'm always so hungry

What is your activity level set at?
How much exercise do you do?
Do you eat back a portion of your exercise calories?
What rate of loss do you have set up?


Most people can lose weight eating more than 1200 cals and if you exercise you should be eating back at least a portion of those which might bring you up closer to the 1300-1400 level.

I'm 5'2 and lost 30 lbs eating anywhere from 1600-1900 cals. I currently maintain between 2100-2300 according to my FitBit and actual results.

Hi I'm 5ft and my starting weight was 11stone 5 and I'm down to 10 st on 1200. I'm set to sedentary but eat back cals from my Fitbit so some days I'm around 1300 cals up to 1600 cals.
I would retook at your cals , you should be able to eat more at your activity level and it won't feel like punishment.

My activity level is set at active as I have a physical job moving patient notes around which can be quite heavy at times.

What rate of loss did you put in?

If you are only trying to lose a stone you should be set at 0.5lb/week which should give you more than 1200, probably even more than the 1300-1400 as well.

I'm 5ft 2" and lose weight (when I want to, been maintaining weight loss for 3 yrs) on 1800 cals a day. I am active though.
