Calories?

[FatBride7.18.09]

I entered all of my food for the last three days into fatsecret.com and have found that I am only eating 650-750 calories a day even though I am at 20 carbs a day. Is this a problem? Or should I not worry about it? I have been eating the correct # of salad veggies and other veggies, and have had plenty of fat (yay for bunless burgers) and I have been having to force myself to eat because my appettite is gone!

I have already lost a little over 3 lbs so I'm not complaining...I just don't want to make myself sick or do this the wrong way.

Thanks!

Re: Calories?

Too few calories. Eventually, that will catch up with you. That wouldn't be enough calories if you were bedridden. It's not too hard to increase caloric intake. Deviled eggs! More salad dressing, butter, use olive oil to cook. I find butter and mayo really increase my caloric intake and help me out in getting enough fat intake.

Re: Calories?

FatBride, it's WAY too low. It will surely put your body into starvation mode. Then your metabolism will slow and weight loss will slow down to a crawl... if you lose at all.

What will probably happen in a week or so is that you will become so ravenous that you will go on a world class binge.

Much better to get plenty of legal foods now.
