I've listed myself as very active, 5-6 hours of strenuous exercise a week... My exercise levels are: Netball twice a week (both an hour a time) Swimming 3 times a week (at least an hour of solid lengths each time) 30DS roughly 4 days a week (half an hour a time) Squash twice a week (45 minutes a time) I've also started…

Not net below BMR? I did not realise that! Does that mean increase intake from 2131 on days where I burn more than 600 cals, which is quite frequent. These feel like basic questions but I just want to be sure.......

Oh and massive thanks to PLUMSGRL for the blog link. It does make sense when you step back and look at it differently. I think I will have to bite the bullet and raise my calorie intake! Fingers crossed I don't just put on the few lbs that have shifted so far!!!

Thank you all for your replies. I find it hard to imagine that I am in starvation mode as my BMR is 1398 and generally I eat that amount? Perhaps I have misunderstood it but I thought the exercise calories didn't have to be eaten because they aided faster weight loss - I only want to average 2lbs a week so I'm not looking…
