Under 1500 calories and exercises without results

Are you eating your exercise calories back? Because if you're not, then it's like you're only consuming 500-1000 calories... You should also take measurements. Sometimes we lose inches before we lose pounds, especially if you're building muscles.

You could add some higher calorie things but eat the same amount. If you're not hungry, you shouldn't force yourself to eat. But you might be less hungry because of your slowed metabolism. Gradually add some higher calorie stuff such as nuts, avocado, peanut butter, etc. You can add calories without adding a lot of food.

I weight 193 lbs and I burn about 1000 calories most days, and I eat 1900 calories. Plus some extra if I workout and burn more than 500 calories for that day.

I plateaued for 3 weeks when I wasn't eating enough. Up your calories.

I am having the same problem. I am eating what I think is good. Hitting more gym classes, running 5 miles 3-4 times a week and nothing... not even one pound. It's been like this for the past month
I want to know what people are suggesting.

Definitely sounds like you're not eating enough. At 159, I'm at 1410, so 1500 seems really low for a guy of your size. Try resetting your MFP goals. If you have more than 1lb. loss per week, if you're active level isn't right, those can all make a difference. Eat back your exercise calories, too. Very important for rebuilding muscle. Try protein shakes, nuts, etc. for extra calories.

I would suggest (and this is just coming from my personal experience) eating more on the days you run, try to keep your net in the 1,200-1,500 range. I'm not saying you have to eat back every exericise calorie, but try not to fall down into the below-1,000 range on the days you run. Just a Builder's Bar after you run and maybe nice fruit smoothie (homemade, not something from Dairy Queen, lol) or peanut-butter sandwich would keep you in a better range. If this doesn't work for you, you could try something else. But a lot of folks say that bringing their calories up a bit when they've burned off a lot helps.

You need to make sure you dont let your body think its in starvation mode if you exercise alot and eat less calories youd think youd loose but your body will hold onto it...........try to change your workouts, do the treadmile and then add weights sometimes you need to shock your body so it can loose. Eat every 2-3hrs on snacks full of protein and healthy fats.......even if your not hungry you should snack on fruit or something so your body can continue to burn fat and calories your metabolism needs to keep being fuled so it can burn....I hope you find a way to keep your scale moving down!

for sure.. i'd say you need to eat back at least 1/2 oi your exercise calories, as well as all of your base calories.
it really makes a difference.. you will lose once your body gets used to actually getting enough nutrients and calories each day

I don't understand. I run 3 to 7 miles four times a week (500-1000 calories burned each time). I drink 10 cups of water or more a day. I eat 1500 calories or less daily, with little to no fat. I'm maintaining my weight at 215 lbs though. Any suggestions?

I wasn't losing either. Turns out my settings were wrong.

1500 calories is definitely too little for a man of your size: Read the link below and adjust accordingly. (From what you've said, you should be set at active or very active (depending on how long your runs are (by time)). Also, check below to see what your defecit should be.

Here is the most important parts:

-1200 calories is a generic number. It's not right for everyone. It's a baseline minimum given out as a floor by MFP based on prior research by the medical community. NOT everyone will need a minimum of 1200, very small people can go under, and bigger people need more.
...
Figuring out your perfect deficit isn't magic, it's a few simple formula's base on some basic, worldwide standards, and generally with slight modefication, will work for just about anyone who (besides weight) is generally healthy.

Here's what you need:
Height, weight, age, activity level, sex

NOTE: activity level isn't as mysterious as it sounds.

If you have a desk job, and do very little walking throughout the day and don't really perform any sports or physical activities, then you are sedentary.

If you do some walking every day (or at least 4 days a week) or other light activity for at least 30 minutes cumulative at least 4 times a week, you are lightly active.

If you do 60 minutes of light activity 5 days a week or do some kind of sport that requires walking or light jogging (say swimming or mailman or warehouse employee) then you are active.

If you do a physically demanding activity (one that makes you sweat) for 4 days a week or more and for more than 1 hour a day, you are very active (like a coach that runs drills or you play volleyball).

When in doubt, go down 1 level, you'd rather burn more than you think than less.

...

So now we can figure out where your goal should be.
Go to the tools section and figure out your BMI:

Generally someone with a BMI over 32 can do a 1000 calorie a day (2 lbs a week) deficit

With a BMI of 30 to 32 a deficit of 750 calories is generally correct (about 1.5 lbs a week)

With a BMI of 28 to 30 a deficit of 500 calories is about right (about 1 lb a week)

With a BMI of 26 to 28 a deficit of about 300 calories is perfect (about 1/2 lb a week)

and below 26... well this is where we get fuzzy. See now you're no longer talking about being overweight, so while it's still ok to have a small deficit, you really should shift your focus more towards muscle building, and reducing fat. This means it is EXTRA important to eat your exercise calories as your body needs to KNOW it's ok to burn fat stores, and the only way it will know is if you keep giving it the calories it needs to not enter the famine response (starvation mode).

You likely need to eat more. I know, counter intuitive, but for many it works. Here is a useful link by a friend of mine here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/196502-for-the-people-who-work-out-like-crazy-and-are-not-losing

Second, on the not eating because you don't feel hungry, you need to remember that if you struggle with too much fat, it is likely your sense of when you are hungry or full is probably messed up. That means you cannot trust it to lead you. You need to use your calorie goals to guide you.
