Will Eating less calories stall Fatloss? HELP!

[Pensive]

Hi!
ok so i noticed that on the few days ive been on atkins im not eating as many calories as i used to. Im eating like 1000cal at a stretch!(but im not hungry either) Is this going to stall my fatloss because my metabolism will slow down or something? for example today i had:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs & water
dinnertime (ish): Kebab strips with greens & water & water
(and i will probabaly have one egg omelette with greens in a while if i get hungry)

Thanks

You should not go 6 hours without eating something. Are you getting your 3 cups of veggies in? I don't see much fat there either...

If you eat too few calories, your body can go into "starvation mode" & hold on to every pound, so yes, it could stall weightloss. Adding fat adds calories, so that might help (fry your eggs or mix in mayo, salad dressing, etc)

Totally agree with Julie. And what's in that kebab? It might have sugar or fillers as hidden ingredients if you didn't make it yourself.

I have done that to myself recently,I have had such a non appetite that when I logged in all my food for the day I was getting under 1200 cals a day.I always try and stay above 1200. Yikes. Julie had a good idea when she said adding more fat to every time you eat. Maybe the next time you make some kabobs make a garlic butter dip,or dip it in ranch..etc..
