The basic rule is to eat less calories than you burn in a day (roughly 500 deficit)

Learn to read brah! I said eating 1300 calories could be eating in excess for someone smaller, like 4ft like in the example.

Well i apologise, i should of said it sooner i guess.

Of course yes, you can lose weight which is what i've done over the past 4 months, but from the OP's picture, granted it is hard to see but it looks like she is quite slim already, so that small weight gain could be LM

You CAN gain Lean Muscle on 1300. You don't need to eat in excess to gain... it's called Newbie Gains

Le Sigh! Who ever said that the OP is 4 foot? I was proving the poster wrong of the assumption that 1300 can not be excessive by providing an example. The OP looks in good shape, and just toning up would be great, therefore weight gain is possible

I eat below my TDEE and still gain Lean Muscle. Some people are so dumb on this forum, you could be 4 foot and eating 1300 calories is excess, the number is determined on other factors

What on earth are you chatting? 1350 is a good rough estimate for her age and height, so eating less will do no good, 1350 does sound like a good number as her TDEE will be around 1600. So if she is 'working out pretty hard every day' then it is quite likely that she is gaining Lean Muscle, your assumption of whatever you…

Nah ahhh You are incorrect, you gain more energy from fat PERIOD! 'Energy from food is commonly measured in kilocalories and expressed as calories on food labels, as well as in discussion of energy intake and expenditure. Fat, protein and carbohydrate are the macronutrients that provide calories. At 9 calories per gram,…

Sounds like you are gaining Lean Muscle to me. Keep it up :D

So with this said, i quote the article 'Current medical opinion is that the benefits of fasting are unproven and until there are more human studies it's better to eat at least 2000 calories a day. If you really want to fast then you should do it in a proper clinic or under medical supervision, because there are many…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/874820-1100-calorie-diet Please check this, learn about BMR and TDEE and adjust accordingly

There could be multiple reasons why this is happening 1. DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) so if you have started training harder or your body is working hard your muscles will swell up after workouts for a day or two depending on recovery and this can add weight. 2. You could be not eating at a Calorie Deficit 3. You…

Don't mean to be rude but http://lmgtfy.com/?q=metafit

Online Calculators suck imo! SOME SCIENCE FOR YOU! BMR estimation formulas Several prediction equations exist. Historically most notable one was Harris-Benedict equation, which was created in 1919. The Original Harris-Benedict Equation: for men, for women, where P is total heat production at complete rest, m is the weight,…

I sometimes give myself a cheat day (first time in a month this weekend) but i would never eat less that 1400 calories during the week at all.

I agree, Maxitone and USN are stupidly expensive! I was in Manchester over the weekend and needed a quick shake so i went into the shop in the Arndale and it cost me £4.75 for 1 shake....... 1 SHAKE!!!!!!!! Was stupid and full of carbs aha

You might be allergic to an ingredient or it could be just coincidence

Everyone needs to eat their minimum Protein intake daily no matter the size or build or even gender. It's just Protein Shakes are an easy way to give your body some much needed Protein after a workout but don't think of them as a way to replace whole foods with Protein in. A tin of Tuna is usually better than a shake along…

Work out your BMR with your current weight and TDEE: Katch-McArdle formula below; -For Women to calculate BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) – (4.7 x age in years) ...For your weight, 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds ...For your height, 1 inch = 2.54 cm Example #2: You are a female, 35 years old, 5 feet 6…

MFP doesn't take into account Heart Rate.

Dzenis LIVES in this thread lol

1200 is pretty low, work out your BMR and TDEE and then eat 10-15% below your TDEE to lose weight safely. With that said, have you just started training? added more weights? increased intensity? DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) from workouts will increase weight temporary, and if you have been training then you might…

Pretty much 400-500g of Protein a day would do that lol

Recent research shows that the RDA doesn't appear to meet the needs of exercising adults. One of the top researchers in this field, Dr Peter Lemon, stated in a recent review paper that, "the RDA for those engaged in strength training should be about 1.7 - 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass per day". Dr Lemon…

You need to work out your Macros http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981&page=1 You should be eating 1g of Protein per lb of Lean Body Mass I consume roughly 200g a day. MFP sets everyone's protein to like 50g which is way too low

Everyone is different, i started on low weights on most of my muscle groups, hell on my chest i could barely lift the bar (20kg) but now i can do over double that and i started 3 months ago so don't worry about it. Keep doing it and you will soon be gaining, just hit those Protein/Fat macros and keep at it

English Boy reporting!

It will be the Keto Diet. It was actually introduced to help people with Epillepsy :) The classic therapeutic ketogenic diet was developed for treatment of paediatric epilepsy in the 1920s and was widely used into the next decade, but its popularity waned with the introduction of effective anticonvulsant drugs.

Taking Progress pictures is the way to go, i take monthly ones and have them on my PC and it really shows how my body is progressing. Keep it up!
