Its all about how much you net. If you eat 5000 and burn 4500, you only net 500. The 5000 you ate doesn't really matter. 1100 calories is just low and you are more likely to gain the weight back because instead of teaching yourself moderation, you aren't teaching yourself much of anything. I don't really mind though. There…

It is when you only have 15 lbs to lose. You are severely handicapping your calorie intake because you need a 1000 calorie deficit every day. Her TDEE is probably like 1800 which means she can only eat 800 per day to lose 2 lbs a week (just an example)

1100 calories is a crash diet lol

Do less cardio and incorporate more weight training

Both! However I prefer the taste of almond milk and I think it makes my protein shakes taste better :D But seriously drink both!

Don't do it. I was young and stupid once and tried it because I was looking for a get skinny quick fix. The leakage is terrible. If you do take it, plan on changing your bed sheets every night and always carry around multiple pairs of underwear.

Of course You could go back to 1350 and just manually enter like 168g carbs, 45g fat, and 68g protein that will put you very close to 1350 Then from there I would cut more carbs and add in more protein :D

Yes, but if you were at 1350 and losing, I would stick with that. The more you can eat while losing is better. I would just adjust the macros to total 1350.

Or your macros are off. But you should adjust your macros, they are set to only eat 1200 calories but your goal is 13xx

If you upped your calories, you need to up your macro goals as well. They should just about add up to your calorie goal using 9 cal per fat 4 cal per carb 4 cal per protein

Your protein/carb/fat macros do not add up to your total daily calories. According to your macro goals, you should be eating 1200 But you are on 1350 Did you adjust something?

Did you set your own calorie goals? Or protein/carb/fat goals?

The chicken breast is off. I edited cause I didnt want to double post but I forgot to add it back in lol

Don't do that!! Weigh your solid foods and measure your liquids. You very well may have eaten over 200 extra calories today.

4 calories per gram of protein, 4 calories per grams of carbs, and 9 calories per grams of fat.

EDIT

Excellent find! For today's entries based on your macros: You should have 621 calories from protein, 176 calories from fat, and 624 calories from carbs (based on what you entered), That is 1421 calories, way more than what you entered. Something is off.

Looks fine. I would try to up your protein quite a bit. MFP always has such low recommendations for protein even for a woman. Also, if you're trying to really hone in on the weight loss, counting calories is really the only thing that will make a difference in your weight loss. Going over on carbs, sugar, and sodium rarely…

Make it public please

You should be lifting weights already

Read that as you ate the package. Was like whatttt

I would say the majority of people on here had at some point a lot to lose so they could lose 2lbs a week. However as we get closer to our goal .5 lb a week is a solid approach. Just be wary that your deficit isn't huge and you don't have a ton of margin for error.

And you will find help and support here. Despite popular belief, this place is full of great information and more importantly great people who have had weight loss experience.

All ridicule aside, "bug" or not, 50 calories is not going to make a big difference in your weight loss. Congrats on losing the weight and I wish you continued success!

Just another tidbit. When your goal changes, all past goals are changed as well (which is incredibly annoying) but that is how MFP works. So even though you were on par those days, it is now reflected as being over since your goals are now lower.

Did you not see that comment coming from the very beginning?

Whatever makes you sleep better at night.

Are you 100% sure you logged your weight loss on Saturday?

Well considering your daily goal has NEVER been set to 1850 you are severely confused.

You were at 1800 base calories before you weight in. When you weighed in, MFP detected that you lost weight (congrats) and your new caloric level is set to 1750 to keep the same deficit. Logging exercises creates more daily goal calories. Its called NEAT and MFP uses this system.
