40 grams of protein is extremely low. You are not going to build much muscle eating 40 grams of protein. Also, why can't you digest more than 40 grams of protein? Do you have a medical condition?

I've torn my ACL's twice. I'll tell you this: putting off surgery and PT is not in your best interest. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. And the longer the recovery will be. With that being said, you need to make PT your priority. If you need to get a babysitter, go to care.com and find one. Do whatever you need to…

Poor woman.

Uh, you kind of did when you said it's okay for a person to eat 1400 calories and burn off 500- leaving them with a net of 900 calories. A person who eats 40-60 grams of protein a day is not holding on to much muscle mass while losing 1.5 lbs a week, considering that they only have 17 pounds to lose. You're not…

I've never seen anyone suggest everything in moderation if a person has medical conditions…

Buddy, you are missing the fact that @kateyb94 can eat more calories, still lose weight, and hold onto as much muscle mass as possible by increasing cals and protein intake. You think it is perfectly healthy to consistently net 900 calories (speaking about another user, BTW). I sincerely hope no one listens to you. Please…

Amen. At least someone gets it!

Who says she wants to bulk? Assumptions, assumptions.
-
Yup, but you can reduce that by eating more protein, eating more calories, and losing weight at a slower rate. Like I've been telling you this whole time.

Eh, many people here would disagree. Our point is that she is young and naturally burns more calories. She has a small amount of weight to lose so she could afford to eat more calories. When you lose weight at the rate she is and eat as little as 40-60 grams of protein a day, you are losing a good deal of muscle mass. The…

We don't need any more information. We know all we need to. * She is a 20 year old female * She wants to lose weight as fast as possible * She is aiming to lose 1.5 pounds a week * She has 17 pounds left to lose * She is eating 1200 calories a day (usually netting below 1200 actually) * She is losing weight at an…

You clearly didn't take the time to read any of the links I directed you to last night. You would then see how many people agree with me. Also, the search feature works wonders for this sort of debate :)

You consumed 1400 calories but burned 500 of them- meaning you have a net caloric intake of 900 calories. Constantly netting 900 calories is not sustainable- whether you agree with it or not. Don't try to justify netting 900 calories because no one who has a basic understanding of nutrition will agree with you.
-
No, there isn't because essentially they still consumed under 1200 calories due to burning off x amount of calories from exercise.
-
Haha no. It's an observation. And I pointed it out so that other people who may not know better don't follow in her footsteps.
-
Eating under 1200 calories is unhealthy and dangerous unless under constant medical supervision. Chances are she is not and is netting under 1000 calories for fast results- as she already stated. What matters is losing weight in a healthy manner- a manner that is sustainable and ensures adequate nutrition.

Pointing out the fact that her diary shows she nets under 1000 calories is definitely not attacking.
