| I'm actually 117 now, I'm not looking to lose anymore weight which is why I was wondering. I guess I'm just in a bad habit of not eating...Yesterday by dinnertime my total calories were 340 :/ I realise I do need to eat more though, I'll definitely start doing that...thanks for the replies. I do Pilates for 20-60 minutes usually every day, other than that not too much exercise, maybe strength training or cardio one or two times a week. I think I'll take your advice genern, and get more active; maybe that'll make me eat more. Thanks again... | |||
| Weight Loss | what happens if you're under 1200 calories a day (even under 1,000 a day), but are getting LOTS of nutrition? | Nov 19 2008 10:06 (UTC) |

I'm EXACTLY the same way as you. I was raised on dinners that were just a huge, delicious salad with tuna mixed in for protein... The meals/diets you describe are basically the same as mine, and I have the same problem! But it's true that you're not getting enough fat, calcium, and probably not enough protein either. Even though I was getting plenty of healthy foods, without protein and stuff i still felt pretty weak and stuff throughout the day, so I'm drinking protein powder along with breakfast (I love Designer Chocolate, 18 g protein and an added 100 calories per serving, and sooo good) and almonds or some other type of nut throughout the day for fat. Also eat more fish or lean chicken, both add calories, good fat (well, not so much for the chicken, but you still need more fat anyway), and protein. And drink fat-free milk/yoghurt for protein and calcium as well....adding those to my fruits/veggies/healthy foods diet has really helped, and I feel way stronger and more energized and stuff...good luck :) |

| I'm 15, 127, 5'7", and usually moderately active, sometimes lightly. I'm really trying to get up to 1200 calories because my parents have indeed been bugging me about eating disorder stuff, it would be interesting to read more about them, I've kind of been wondering if I am developing one because I know I need to stop it if I am. THank you for replying! | |||

| Thanks a lot, I totally didn't know that about the vitamin/fat thing!
I'm taking everyone's advice to heart, I'll for sure try to eat more and stuff. I just feel so stuffed!!
Good luck everyone, and thanks again! |

thanks everyone, I will definitely try to eat more then. I've been working on more strength training to build up muscle & metabolism, so hopefully that combined with more food will have good results!

haha well thankfully I don't like Mars bars :) I take a multivitamin and a bunch of other vitamins/dietary supplements daily as well, and I think I have my carbs/fats/proteins sufficient amounts...can never be sure though. Yeah, I guess the main thing I need to watch out on is not making 150 of those calories after eights or something...ugh but they're just soooooo goooooood :P |
