1000 calories a day isn't enough so no, it's not correct.
Put your stats into MFP. Tell MFP that you want to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Eat those calories.
Eat back at least half of your exercise calories to fuel you.
Weigh or measure everything you eat.
If you do this, you'll lose weight.
I fed my stats as sedentary, because my job is a desk job, but I workout(Zumba 50 minutes, 4 days a week, swimming 40 minutes once a week), so it showed I need to consume 1220 calories. I am unable to consume so many calories in net, after subtracting the ones from exercise. And since past two days, have been feeling weak. Any solutions?
You need to eat more. What do you mean that you are "unable" to consume 1220 calories? I just ate 18 grams of cashews (which is not a lot of cashews) and it was 102 calories. There are lots of easy options out there.3 -

Your body thinks it's in starvation mode only eating once a day and is programmed to store everything you eat as fat because it thinks it has too because your not going to eat again for a long time. You should get in at least 1200-1500 calories minimum. 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. Definitely don't skip breakfast. In the gym a car mob of weight training and cardio. 30 minutes of each is good. Do your cardio last after you finish you weight training. Shoot for 1-2 lbs per week that's healthy. Any more you could be losing muscle instead of fat. Again I'm no expert but this is what's worked for me. Plus doing reading and researching the matter.
nope. you dont go into starvation mode eating only one meal a day. many here do OMAD and get their calories in for the day. you dont store fat or anything else in a deficit. breakfast is also not needed as many do IF. I dont eat breakfast and I lost/lose weight. meal timing/amount of meals has no relevance on weight loss. starvation mode doesnt exist and if she were really eating 100 calories,working out and not eating back exercise calories she would lose quickly, of course a lot of that would be lean mass as well as fat. but she would still lose.
This starvation mode stuff makes me exhausted. If I wasn't saving calories for the 3-4 beers I plan to drink while watching the WNBA finals tonight, I'd totally eat a chocolate truffle in protest.
I might eat the truffle anyhow. It's hard not to eat when you're exhausted.8 -

You're probably feeling weak from under-eating. Eat more calorie dense foods to get your calories up.2 -
If everyone stopped responding to this troll she/he might stop wasting everyone's time.

My thought exactly. Like why even reply to this. She hadn't taken any advice and just keeps asking for more.1 -

And this!No it's not correct. I'd offer specific advice, but it seems to fall on deaf ears, so to speak.
I'll just say that every time you have a question about weight loss, OP, you should tell yourself "Go back and read the responses to my threads."
And especially this!You have been posting more or less the same stuff since August. Please read the guides on this website telling you how to use it: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1
You have it listed that you have lost 0 kgs so far. You started posting in August. If you read those posts, you probably would have lost at least 3 kgs by now.

I'm pretty sure the OP is a troll. Don't waste your time
The OP is just trying to trigger you and quite successfully. 1 -

Unfortunately, trying to get people to stop responding to trolls only gets more people responding to them. I've been on forums for a long time, and seen many many trolls, it's like the use of "reply all" in a large office. One reply all spawns a dozen more telling people NOT to reply all.
The idea is not wrong, but it'll never happen, and trolls know that. That's why they troll.0
