Are chia seeds worth the extra calories when trying to lose?
I just bought black chia seeds to put in my smoothies. They seems great nutrition wise but I’m only on a 1200 calorie diet (4ft 11in) and wondering if they are worth the extra 120 calories? They seem like they would help me reach my fiber goal. Thoughts please?

Short girls! How many calories do you eat to lose and mai rain
I am 4’11. I was wondering how many calories you ladies eat to lose or maintain. I’ve lost 15lbs since Jan 1st eating about 1100-1200 calories per day (plus half of my excercise calories) I’m not quite at goal yet, but want to just work toward eating a little more while I try to build muscle and tighten. I ate between…

Help with calories!
How can I figure out my maintenance allowance? I had to eat 1100 calories to lose my last 5 lbs (around .5lb - 1lb a week). Occasional Days I was extra hungry, I would eat around 1300. I am female, 4’11 - 115lbs. I lift weights 4 days a week but am going to start doing cardio a few days as well. My weight fluctuates a lot.…

Does anyone else constantly get told their face is too thin?
I am 10lbs away from my goal and everyone keeps telling me I look too thin in my face and I shouldn’t lose any more. I carry all my weight in my mid section (never really the thighs or arms) and lose it all in my face first. It’s getting so annoying hearing it but I still have some belly fat to go and can’t control my…

4’11 and gain at 1200
Here is my TDEE I calculated but whenever I eat 1200-1300calories, Even when it’s not processed food, I wake up a little heavier. The only time I really lose is when I eat 900-1000 (that’s a loss of around .5-1lb a week) Is it my height and I just need to up my exercise? Or should I try 2 weeks at 1200-1300 and see if it…

Carb cyling
Has anyone tried carb cycling? I have 10lbs to lose and am at a plateau.. I was researching carb cycling and was wondering if it would boost my metabolism without going over calories to help drop the last 10lbs.

Gained weight? Diet posted below.
So I woke up heavier today after eating really well yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that my calories were too low to lose? Not typical for me, but was really busy running around with the kids & couldn’t eat as frequently. I did meal prep and was satisfied all day though.
