in Introduce Yourself
What's up!! I'm Shelby, I'd like to lose 30 pounds. My goal weight is 150! So far I really enjoy using My Fitness Pal it's easy and fun to use. Would like some friends on here to help motivate. I'm a week in my 1000 calorie diet and jog or walk the last 5 days. If you're looking for a fitness pal hit me up 😁🤗💪

    I don't think you burn muscle if you eat enough protein but that's just my opinion. Having a 1000 calorie diet isn't so bad. I don't feel starving or weak. And if I go to bed by 10 I end my day feeling pretty full 👍

    I take in a 1000 calories a day total. It's not so bad.👍

    MFP gave you a calorie target of at least 1200. I wonder why you stick around, when you chose to ignore it, actively; if you tried to close your diary, you will have gotten a warning. In the hope that someone can tell you you don't have to starve yourself, or to brag of how little you're eating? Losing weight is about how long you can stick to eating less, not how little you can eat for a short while. You won't feel the effect of undereating immediately, but when you do, you'll overeat. And then there's the question if you're even eating as little as you think you're eating. 1000 calories is almost nothing, and you can't feel "pretty full" on it.

    ^^^^^What she said ^^^^^

    I suggest discussing this with your doctor if you plan to continue with 1000 cals total. We are not professionals and cannot help you.

    I've had 2 hardboiled eggs, peach and an apple so far. I have 2 grilled chicken strips, orange and banana for lunch. That puts me around 600 calories. For dinner tonight I'll probably put an orange, banana and 1 cup of low fat yogurt in the blender before I go to soccer practice. It's tough to get to the 1,560 calories mfp suggest.

    1000 calories is awfully low. You said you feel OK so I guess keep going :)
