    Agreed. you need to feed your body for it to respond properly. If you abuse it, it will abuse you.

    This could also be your lack of fuel most of the week catching up with you. If MFP tells you to eat 2500 cals after exercise you should eat more than 1200, you should be eating close to the 2500 cals. This will also ensure you lose your goal amount of weight.

    Took a look at your food diary for breakfast...you need more calories...the feeling of passing out is because you blood sugar level is most likely too low...please, eat something with at least 200 - 300 calories!

    Try eating!!

    Why are you trying to starve your body, You don't drive a car with no fuel in it so don't use your body with no fuel in it. You should be eating at least 1200 cals a day.

    Your getting dizzy and having headaches because your blood suger is low.

    Any particular reason why you're eating so little today? Just not hungry? The OP wasn't very helpful if you're looking for advice...what exactly don't you get?

    To give some slightly more constructive criticism assuming you're not understanding how this whole thing works...try planning your days more so you're not eating so little. Maybe plan on having 300 calories for breakfast and lunch then 100-200 for snack and that leaves you at least 600 for dinner. Not a bad day in my opinion.

    If your problem is that you're not hungry, how about eating the whole egg instead of the white? They're not nearly as bad for you as everyone used to say and you get a ton of protein. Also try to eat a combination of protein and carbs and a little fat in each meal. That gives you a good balance that should keep your body well fueled.

    You need to eat to lose weight. I struggled with this for about 6 months. I was eating and eating well but just to few cals and my body says "not we won't lose a pound".

    Try adding veggies to your egg whites night time. peppers, mushrooms, celery, onions, fat free ham things like that to "beef" it up.
    That way you are getting lots of fiber from low cal veggies but it's filling and you're feel better.
    TIP: even if you put it all in a bowl and microwave it.....if you're short on time.

    If you eat less than 300, you will feel like that. Try 400-500 for breakfast, unless you eat lunch early. Then, I recommend about 300-400. Protein is also good. Eat those yolks!

    I agree with everyone else - you need to eat more. If you don't eat sufficient calories your body will go into starvation mode and you will start using muscle tissue rather than burning off fat.

    You have a calorie allowance - use them!! For your health sake!

    There are some people on here who don't struggle as much as others. The people on here who aren't posting positive productive things just forget about them. Saying things like EAT........I'm sure you know you need to do that. If you're just starting out have a look at other people dairy's to get an idea of what to eat. try different combos. But don't let people get you down on here. It's supposed to a community that helps you not putts you down.

    It seems that people are just trying to be caring and honest. I don't always eat a great breakfast myself. So, I do speak from my own experience. Sometimes, we need to rearrange our calories. Obviously, she is eating. But, people just wanted to let her know that she can eat more for breakfast to make her feel better (physically). At least, that's how I took it.

    Sorry - but I don't understand what it is that "you don't get" You could of course just tell us......
    People are obviously very willing to help you.

    I don't think telling someone to eat is a put down, just straight and to the point. I haven't seen anyone post anything sarcastic.

    But yes, I agree you do need to eat more, and IMO more often, every 3-4 hours. And also, make sure you get some protein, carbs, and fats throughout the day. Try to divide your cal's into 3 meals and a couple of snacks, and that should keep you feeling somewhat leveled out during the day. Feel free to look at my diary. I usually eat 3 meals and 2 snacks unless I'm lifting that day, and they I'll have an additional protein shake. But yes, you do need to EAT more.

    I'm going to be purchasing some protein shakes to help with my breakfast calories. Going to make sure that I eat no less than 300 calories in the morning. Thanks everyone for your help....I do appreciate it!

    Also make sure you are getting enough water - I had the same thing and apparantely dehydration can cause it.

    Good luck!

    EAT MORE!

    i had a look at your diary, and there was one day that you netted about 0 calories... this is not a good thing and not a healthy way to lose weight.
