    So, as a point of interest, I took the liberty to run her TDEE numbers (23yo 5'1" - 110lb female):

    Basal Metabolic Rate 1,191 calories per day
    Sedentary 1,430 calories per day
    Light Exercise 1,638 calories per day
    Moderate Exercise 1,847 calories per day
    Heavy Exercise 2,055 calories per day
    Athlete 2,264 calories per day

    So, this is a starting point.....and, like I almost always say, since this is based on a formula and is not specific to any one person, please consider it as such (read: a starting point).

    Just thought that it might not be a bad idea to see these numbers.....


    Edited (3:44PM) - and your BMI value puts you in the 'normal' range (based on the details that you provided). So, everything looks 'within range' from a numbers perspective. But, as we all know, that is simply the start.

    If you want to tone up, then I would highly suggest that you start a training program. Something like 'Strong Curves'.....but, there are a lot of programs that might help you.

    Yes you're doing it very wrong you're at a healthy weight and eating less 1000 calories ? I'm curious about how you came you up with this number. If you're using a food scale and this is the calories you're eating I would say stop!! I would recommend eating at maintenance calories, and starting a progress weight lifting to tone up if that's your goal. If it's not our goal it wouldn't hurt to add that into your workout.

    Good luck!!
