Good advice. Just to be clear I eat more than 1200 calories per day if I exercise which is 75% of the time.

Wow, so many opinions! I appreciate everyone's helpful and not so helpful advice. If I could *possibly* live longer and reduce diseases like cancer while also losing weight on 1200 calories, I'm all about it. You are welcome to eat however many calories your body chooses. It's ok if we have different opinions! I'm going to…

I understand that people want one size fits all. People want to simplify things, I get it. 1200 calories is always wrong, the calories you say are correct is always right and that's just the way it is. You guys don't know anything about me. You don't know if I have health issues. You have no idea how my metabolism or body…

It's possible that I weakened my immune system I suppose but a much more rational explanation is that my 3 children have each been sick very recently and I have still been cuddling and kissing them.

Anyways, this tangent was not part of what I was asking. The last few instances of posting on the message boards, my questions have hardly been answered but instead have turned into an argument about why I'm eating the amount of calories that this same website that we are ALL using, indicated is the correct amount for…

This is such a bogus article from some unaccredited blogger. 🙄

I actually saw a RD 10 years ago who had me on 1153 calories per day. 🤷

Additionally, there is a ton of (recent) research about how calorie restriction increases longevity.

Seriously? If course it applies to humans. We are basically mammals too.

While I certainly appreciate your concern, I prefer to read articles from reputable websites that are peer-reviewed by a Registered Dietician/Licensed Dietician - Nutritionist rather than some random guy who has a blog and zero credentials. 1200 is fine. Research even suggests that eating lower calories is beneficial to…

I thrive on routine and love knowing exactly how many calories I'm "spending" on lunch before it even happens. I had gestational diabetes with 2/3 kids and it really changed my mindset of food. Food is fuel. I was very strict with it bc it wasn't just me, my choices effected my baby! I started seeing food as fuel. I began…

I'm losing approx 1lb every six days. 21lbs to goal. I've been feeling tired in my workouts in the past few days but just today, I have come down with something from my lovable but germy children who were also sick. Don't worry, I'm not working out until better but I wonder if while I'm sick if I should up my cals? You're…

Thanks guys. Rabbit - I selected 2lbs per week loss. I'm pretty strict with my diet during the week but usually have a cheat meal on Sunday, so I'm really not very underfed! I haven't been losing 2lbs/week either which is frustrating so I certainly wouldn't want to go higher.

Working my butt off in the gym since Thanksgiving but I've been going a little harder the last few weeks. Thanks for your insight. I feel like it's past the initial 'water weight' phase but since I've increased my workouts, maybe that's it.
