[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that under 1200 is too low. That’s the point that I was trying to make earlier. Not eating enough also slows down your metabolism over time.[/quote]

Your body just adapts. If you’re eating under 1200 it will naturally conserve energy and you won’t move around as much. Your NEAT expenditure goes down. Your metabolism itself doesn’t slow, it’s that your body will reduce the amount of energy you’re able to expend on activity and moving and exercise to compensate for the low calories. It’s tired and not fed so it won’t want to move. You would do better to eat [b]1800 and MOVE more.[/b] [/quote]

This would be a LOT of movement for me as a small person. Like 8-10 miles on the treadmill, a pilates class, and HIIT for an hr every day to get 100-200 cals below my resting (1300). [/quote]

The more you move and the more muscle you build the more you can eat. Your resting is only that low because you aren’t active and don’t have muscle burning your calories off. I’m 5’1. I weigh 102 and have very visible muscles. No way I eat at 1200-1300 a day. [/quote]
