[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a registered dietitian. Are you doing this under some sort of medical recommendation?  1700 calories is barely enough for anyone. Try bumping up to 2,000, adding in more fiber, protein and healthy fats.[/quote]

Huh? I count calories and sometimes I don't even hit 1700 if I'm not trying. I count calories because I'm lifting and want to GAIN weight and cut and am more concerned with my macros. If you are truly a RD then you surely must know that calorie needs have a broad range based in many factors such as  gender, age, activity levels, mass, hormones, and most importantly, genetics. Most health professionals don't make erroneous generalizations.[/quote]

My mother is a RD and it seems that many who completed their schooling in the 80s/early 90s believe in the 2000 calorie rule. It doesn't take into account the variances we have today from years of unrelenting dieting, get thin quick schemes, overexercising, obesity, medication interactions, etc. My father was an athlete so my mom adapted her thinking and knowledge to help him. I'm glad I got that into to food versus the "one size fits all" that clearly does not fit all. [/quote]
