I have been successfully loosing a 1lb a week with what I have been doing so far (except this week).
My worry is that I am doing more exercise some days than others after inputting cardio done and I am finding that my calorie intake is going below the recomended 1200.

Should I be concerned by this or will eating more calories on other days within the same week actually balance this out?

I am trying to change my body composition and have been monitoring my muscle and fat mass and these are changing gradually and I want my body to build toned muscle and loosefat and not burn off the muscle I am working to achieve because of not eating enough.

I am after as much genuine nutritional advice as possible and would appreciate as many references or links to back up advise as possible.

    I would highly suggest you consult with your primary care physician, a registered dietician for this because your current health is only known to the PCP. What is appropriate for others may not be appropriate for you...

    Thanks, that's what my friends have said. I just need to find a way to see a nutritionist cause the doctor doesn't see the point in referring me to one when I've asked in the past, even thought I willing to pay for one.
