Ladies 5'2 1300-1400 calories?

maybe they have more physical activity? or a larger frame?

I thik 1300-1400 is still low and definitely enough of a deficit to lose! Do you workout,how much do you have to lose?

I'm 5'4" and I usually eat around 1400-1500 cals per day. Recently I dropped down to 1300 but I consider that temporary. You have to figure out what works for you within the realm of what is healthy. If you go much lower than 1400 in my opinion it's much harder to stay full and get all the nutrients you need. Try a higher protein, lower processed food approach to make sure you stay full and get your daily nutrition. Personally when I went from 1200 to 1500 I didn't gain an ounce.

I'm 5'2 and eat 1700-1800 and lose, but I'm pretty active and have alot of lean mass for my frame (yay for metabolism-increasing muscles )

I am 5'1" and my MFP calorie goal is set to 1340. I haven't had any problems with that and have been eating 3 meals plus snacks. If I do go over it is easily taken care of with exercise. If you want to PM me we can talk about my meals. I think it also helps that I use a meal planner and her meals are planned with WW in mind. (Which I don't do WW so I don't know anything about thier "points" but the meals are healthy and that is all that matters.)

I am 5'1 and initially put that I wanted to lose 1.5 lbs per week and it put me at 1200 calories. I too was really hungry and just was famished when I got home, I ate everything that was in site plus some. I always seemed to go over. So, I went into my profile setting and changed it to lose 1lb per week and now I'm up to 1600 calories. I am doing much better with this than I was before. I also weigh 235 and hope to lose 100 lbs.

Feel free to add me as a friend. Good Luck!!

I'm now able to finally work out again.. so I can't wait to add the extra calories to my diet from working out. I haven't been able to work out for several months. Almost 8 I think.

I'm 5'2', and I've noticed it's UNREASONABLE to eat only 1200 calories per day. I would get discouraged because I had to work out just to eat dinner. So I increased my calories to 1350, which, to me, still seems like a low enough number, but more realistic.

My husband's nutritionist said something interesting to him a few weeks ago: She has him eating all natural, whole foods (nothing processed, no added surgars, etc), and he went to her with a concern about "staying under his calories". She said something along the lines of "Do you really think that if you eat more than 2000 calories of BROCOLLI that you're going to GAIN weight?"

So I think the point here is quality, not quantity. You can eat 1200 calories of CRAP and be in worse shape than if you ate 1500 calories of all natural, whole foods. That's what I got out of it, anyway...
